Adjusted regression* coefficients, with corresponding ORs and 95% CI, for TCS score predicting each belief about the policy approach
| Outcome | Coefficient for a 10-unit increase in the TCS score | SE of Coefficient | Adjusted OR (95% CI) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Complete home-smoking ban | 0.285 | 0.142 | 1.33 (1.01 to 1.76) |
| Cessation support is useful | 0.194 | 0.125 | 1.21 (0.95 to 1.55) |
| Raising prices is useful† | 0.012 | 0.013 | 1.01 (0.99 to 1.04) |
| Extending bans is useful | −0.073 | 0.088 | 0.93 (0.78 to 1.10) |

*Coefficients, and the corresponding ORs, were estimated using multilevel logistic regression models, after adjustment for sex, age, level of education, and smoking status, and considering country as random effect. Estimates were weighted for statistical weights that consider country-specific adult population. Coefficients refer to a 10-unit increase in the TCS score.
†For perception on raising tobacco prices, the multi-level analysis did not converge. Therefore, coefficients and corresponding ORs were estimated using multiple unconditional logistic regression models, after adjustment for sex, age, level of education, and smoking status.
