  1. Carbon monoxide (CO) quitter: <8 ppm, Cotinine (COT) quitter: <20 ng/ml
  2. *COT >20 ng/ml but evidence of NRT use at time of sampling
  3. **COT >20 ng/ml but CO <<8 ppm
  4. †self reported quitter but cotinine level above cut-offs (373 ng/ml and 385 ng/ml)
  5. ‡self reported quitter but did not return biochemical sample
