Before shopping, participants completed questionnaires assessing tobacco use history, susceptibility to cigarette smoking and smokeless tobacco use, and two facets of price sensitivity: price consciousness and sale proneness. Post-shopping susceptibility to smoking cigarettes and using smokeless tobacco were the outcomes.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Previous analyses of these data showed that removing price discount information was associated with lower odds of susceptibility to both cigarette smoking and smokeless tobacco use.

Post-hoc probing of two marginally significant interactions (P\u2009=\u2009.06 and P\u2009&amp;lt;\u2009.08) indicated that removing price discount information was associated with lower odds of cigarette smoking susceptibility only among participants high in sale proneness, and lower odds of smokeless tobacco use susceptibility only among those high in price consciousness.<\/jats:p>\n
