a –

Based on HCHS/SOL study, Chicago, Miami, Bronx, San Diego, 2008-2011

b -

Odds ratios (OR) represent the odds of being a former smoker compared to current smokers who ever quit for 6 months or longer, after adjustment for other variables in the model.

*

Interaction with age significant, p=0.0045. All other age interactions were not significant at p<0.05.
