|
Primary |
Talk About Smoking Cessation |
For each day, a single binary variable was derived to indicate whether the participant talked about either smoking cessation or smoking-related harms in the prior 24 hours, with the average daily percentage of this outcome estimated. Experiencing the event of talking about cessation or harms is a better outcome, as it is a predictor of cessation attempts. |
Evaluated once each day (evening survey) over the 14 day study period, with analyses limited to days 2-14. Day 1 was dropped due to varying intervention exposure and coverage of the day, depending on study orientation time. |
|
Primary |
Foregoing a Cigarette |
For each day, responses to two questions were combined to create a binary variable for whether, in the prior 24 hours, the participant a) did not smoke a cigarette when they normally would, and/or b) stubbed out a cigarette before finishing it, with the average daily percentage of this outcome estimated. Experiencing the event of forgoing/stubbing out is a better outcome, as it is a predictor of cessation attempts. |
Evaluated once each day (evening survey) over the 14 day study period, with analyses limited to days 2-14. Day 1 was dropped due to varying intervention exposure and coverage of the day, depending on study orientation time. |

Expressed Reactance Against Health Messages |
a. Binary measure for whether the participant reported talking about how health information on packs is either useless or not believable in the prior 24 hours, with the average daily percentage of this outcome estimated. Experiencing the event is a worse outcome, as it suggests defensive responding to labels. |
