#

Wave of recruitment and urges to smoke were treated as quasi-continuous variables for modelling purposes. Model 1 shows odds ratio for each key predictor adjusting for the other seven key predictor variables in the table. Model 2 shows odds ratio also adjusted for control variables assessed at baseline such as age group, gender, ethnicity, income, education, wave recruited into the study, survey mode, quit length, urges to smoke, use of any stop-smoking medications and home smoking bans. AOR, adjusted odds ratio; CI, confidence interval; NA, not applicable; – estimates could not be computed due to small sample size; Refused and Don’t Know responses (not more than 4.6%) were excluded.
