MethodWe obtained a sample of 418 smokers and 418 non-smokers from a commercial Internet panel (Research Now) and conducted an online survey in March 2012. Data were weighted before analysis using SPSS’s Weight Cases function so the age, sex, ethnicity and smoking status of respondents in the sample matched the proportions in the New Zealand population, according to the most recent census data (2006).The survey tested the industry and public health arguments outlined above, which we phrased as statements that respondents evaluated using five-point, fully labelled agree-disagree scales. The scales were anchored by ‘Strongly disagree’and ‘Strongly agree’, with a ‘Neither disagree nor agree’mid-point and a ‘Don’t know/Can’t choose’option. We also estimated support for plain packaging using an 11-point scale ranging from 0 (no support at all) to 10 (full support). The scale was numbered from 0 to 10 but labelled only at each end.
