From: Who is using snus? - Time trends, socioeconomic and geographic characteristics of snus users in the ageing Swedish population

 

Never smoked n = 23125 OR 95%CI

Previous smoker n = 14568 OR 95%CI

  1. Multivariate logistic regression analyses* with snus use versus non-use as the outcome in the three smoking categories; Never smoked, Previous smoker and Current smoker
  2. * Only variables with significant odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (95% CI) are presented. Significant ORs are marked in bold. The following variables were not included in the multivariate analyses due to non-significance in the univariate analyses: Income, area of residence, unemployment, retirement
