aOctober coded as 1 = October versus 0 = other months of the year.

bStoptober coded as 1 = Stoptober period 2012–2017 versus 0 = pre-Stoptober period 2007–2011.

cOdds ratio (OR) represents difference between October and other months of the year within the pre-Stoptober period.

dOR represents difference between Stoptober period and pre-Stoptober period within months of the year other than October.

dOR represents difference in odds of quitting in October instead of other months, between Stoptober period and pre-Stoptober period.
