Seven-day smoking abstinence by study arm. Individuals with missing carbon monoxide or self-reported smoking data are assumed not to meet the criteria for abstinence. Repeated-measures logistic regression with generalized estimating equations demonstrated no statistically significant overall differences between the SmokefreeTXT and control arms for either abstinence measure (see text).
