Numbers in parenthesis represent the SEs. The numbers in brackets represent the 95% CIs. If more than one pack of cigarettes was presented by a smoker in the survey of packs in smokers’ possession, we used information on the pack indicated as being smoked most often.
*The data on pack characteristics for each survey response were weighted by the smoking intensity, as declared by the owner of each pack.
