All data are weighted using longitudinal weights. Due to rounding, Ns may not sum to total and percentages may not sum to 100. Descriptive data for the covariate capturing percentage change in cigarette costliness is presented in text.
*Eligible sample limited to respondents who were cigarette smokers at baseline and at follow-up. This sample was used in analyses predicting quitting thoughts, intentions, pack concealment, and micro-indicators of concern.
†Eligible sample limited to respondents who were cigarette smokers at baseline (i.e., either still smoking or not smoking at follow-up). This sample was used in analyses predicting attempts to quit in the past month.
