  • *In models not presented, we tested whether associations between promotions/advertising types and current smoking varied according to country of residence by including interactions between promotions/advertising types and countries. None of these interactions were statistically significant (p>0.10). We also tested whether associations between promotions/advertising types and current smoking varied according to year of survey by including interactions between promotions/advertising types and year. None of these interactions were statistically significant (p>0.10).
