The initial sample comprised 249 female adolescents. Six participants were excluded from the analysis because of failure to indicate their smoking status.

A further two participants were excluded after being identified as multivariate outliers (one smoker and one non‐smoker).
This left a total of 241 students in the final analysis (representing a response rate of 35%). The age range of respondents was 13–16 years (M = 15, SD = 0.69) and all were in Year 9 or 10 at the time of testing (Year 12 signifies the end of secondary schooling in Nigeria ).
