Notes: SID (smoking-induced deprivation) was measured with the question “In the last 30 days, has there been a time when the money you spent on cigarettes resulted in not having enough money for any of these items: housing, food, household utilities, health care, transportation, personal hygiene items, or necessary clothing?”

a

Entertainment, food and home goods tied for fourth place among participants with SID (each were reported by 33 participants).
