*ORs were estimated using a multi-level logistic regression model with random effects after adjustment for sex, age, level of education and smoking intensity, and with country as random effect. Estimates were weighted for statistical weights that consider country specific population.
†Computed weighting each country in proportion to the country specific population aged 15 years or over.
