p<0.01,
p<0.05,
p<0.1. All models contain the same covariates as the models that generated our main estimates as presented in Table 2. The models of past-year quits and quit attempts estimate the impact of the policy regime change one year or more after the change. The sample size varies across models because the questions that were asked varied across survey waves.
