  1. Bolded estimates are statistically significant (p < 0.05). Estimates for each perception on each outcome were adjusted for the propensity score for endorsing the perception, which accounted for age, gender, education, income, smoking intensity (in quartiles), and number of price-minimizing strategies used at baseline.
