a Multivariable model—adjusted for age, sex, ethnicity, state, quantity of alcohol intake 12 months prior to enrolment. ORs are based on related and unrelated controls combined. b Imputations (number of participants with missing values): ever smoking status (1), age started smoking (1), year since quit smoking (1), number of cigarettes per day (22), duration of smoking (2), pack-years (23).
