N = total number quitting for the given type

n = number of quitters among users

Main Comparison of ever and never regular e-cigarette users

Sensitivity 5 As main, but relates to 30-day quitting at the relevant wave

Sensitivity 6 As main, but excluding those not attempting to quit in first year of follow-up

Sensitivity 7 As main, but comparison of ever and never smokeless tobacco users

Sensitivity 8 As main, but comparison of ever and never snus users
