Dimensions of nicotine dependence and corresponding survey question	Menthol			Non-Menthol
	Weighted Mean (95% CI)^a	Weighted Beta (95% CI)^b	p	Weighted Mean (95% CI)
Craving I frequently crave cigarettes.	2.4 (2.2,2.6)	0.48 (0.15,0.82)	0.005^*	1.9 (1.8,2.1)
Tolerance I usually want to smoke a cigarette right after I wake up.	3.1 (2.8,3.3)	0.73 (0.26,1.21)	0.003^*	2.4 (2.1,2.7)
Automaticity I find myself reaching for cigarettes without thinking about it.	2.5 (2.3,2.7)	0.27 (−0.07,0.62)	0.12	2.2 (1.9,2.3)
Loss of control My cigarette use is out of control.	1.8 (1.6,2.0)	0.32 (0.02,0.63)	0.04	1.6 (1.4,1.8)
