  1. Reliability coefficients for the Intention scales among the full validation and cross-validation samples, as well as among the 5 study sub-groups
  2. ASPQ, Adult Smokers Planning to Quit; ASNPQ, Adult Smokers Not Planning to Quit; EV, e-vapor; ICC, Intraclass correlation coefficient
  3. aTest retest reliability among the full sample (n = 48) was ICC = .544, p < .001
