a

Marginal Effect indicate how much the probability of smoking change (in percentage points) with a 10‐point increase in TCS smoke‐free. They come from the logistic model including simultaneously interactions between TCS price and each sociodemographic category (education, age and sex); and were calculated following Karaka‐Mandic et al (2011) 49.

b

Marginal Effects (M.E.) of the interactions represent the absolute difference (in percentage points) of the TCS smoke‐free marginal effect over sociodemographic category (Full results in Table S11, Supporting Information).

c

Odds Ratio (O.R.) of the interactions represent the relative difference (in percentage points) of the TCS smoke‐free marginal effect over sociodemographic category (Full results in Table S11, Supporting Information). TCS = Tobacco Control Scale.
