3 Supplemental figure 1. Genome-wide plots of P-values for all 17 traits. Supplemental figure 2. Regional plots for (A) the 10p11.21 NDSS drive/priority locus, (B) the 15q22.2 FTND time to first cigarette (TTF) locus, and (C) the 2q21.2 age of onset of weekly smoking locus. The top panel shows the SNP association results including 20 kb flanking regions from the locus and/or the farthest end of the nearest gene. Arrow indicates the direction of the gene. The bottom panel shows the LD structure of the locus in the study sample (one individual per family, index twin prioritized), including the SNPs in Table 1 as well as all the intermediate SNPs. The boxes are shaded according to D values (darker shading indicated higher LD), and the numbers in the boxes are the r 2 values (empty boxes represent full LD). 1

4 Supplemental table 1. Phenotypic definitions for all 17 included traits. PHENOTYPE DEFINITION 1 DESCRIPTIVE STATISTICS 2 (I) AMOUNT SMOKED CPD Number of cigarettes smoked per day during month of heaviest smoking; eight categories: 1-2, to 40 (19.8) 4 5, 6-10, 11-15, 16-19, 20-25, 26-39, and 40 CPD. 3 Maximum CPD Maximum number of cigarettes ever smoked during one day (24h period) (30.0) (II) SMOKING INITIATION Age at first puff Age (years) at first puff of cigarette ( How old were you the very first time you smoked even a puff 3-54 (13.9) of a cigarette? ). Age at first cigarette Age (years) when first whole cigarette smoked ( How old were you the first time you smoked a 4-54 (15.6) whole cigarette? ). Second cigarette Second cigarette smoked same or next day after first one ( After you first smoked a whole 53.3% cigarette, how long was it before you smoked your second whole cigarette? ). Age of onset of weekly smoking Age (years) when started to smoke weekly ( How old were you when you first smoked a cigarette 6-54 (17.3) at least once a week for at least two months in a row? ). Age of onset of daily smoking Age (years) when one started to smoke daily ( How old were you when you first smoked cigarette 7-54 (18.3) every day or nearly every day for at least two months in a row? ). First time sensation Sensation felt after smoking the first cigarette or first puffs (10.2) (III) NICOTINE DEPENDENCE diagnosis Nicotine dependence by DSM-IV diagnosis ( 3 out of 7 occurring within a year). 53.5% Number of from 0 to (3.0) FTND ( 4) Nicotine dependent if 4 out of 10 points in Fagerström Test for Nicotine Dependence. 50.4% FTND score Fagerström Test for Nicotine Dependence (FTND) score: 0 to 10 points (3.7) FTND time to first cigarette (TTF) Time to first cigarette in the morning (one item of the FTND scale). Five categories: 0-5 min, (3.1) 4 min 6, min 6, min, >60 min. NDSS drive / priority Drive reflects craving, withdrawal, and smoking compulsions; priority reflects preference for (-0.3) smoking over other reinforces. 7 NDSS stereotypy / continuity Continuity reflects the regularity of smoking rate; stereotypy reflects the invariance of smoking (-0.3) NDSS tolerance Tolerance reflects reduced sensitivity to the effects of smoking (-0.1) NDSS sum score Nicotine Dependence Syndrome Scale (NDSS) (Shiffman et al. 2004), sum score as a continuous 0-56 (21.1) variable from 0 to 56. 1, Adapted from Broms U, Wedenoja J, Largeau MR, Korhonen T, Pitkäniemi J, Keskitalo-Vuokko K, et al. Analysis of detailed phenotype profiles reveals CHRNA5-CHRNA3-CHRNB4 gene cluster association with several nicotine dependence traits. Nicotine Tob Res. 2012; 14(6): , Continuous / categorical: min-max (mean); Binary: prevalence (%) 3, CPD constitutes of eight categories: 1-2, 3-5, 6-10, 11-15, 16-19, 20-25, 26-39, 40 CPD. In the statistical analyses of the CPD variable, original categorical observations were replaced with class means of CPD (1.5, 3.5, 8, 13, 17.5, 22.5, 32.5, and 45 cigarettes per day, respectively). Regression coefficients can therefore be interpreted as the average change in number of cigarettes smoked per day when the number of minor allele is increased by one. 4, Weighted arithmetic mean, where weights are determined by class frequencies. 5, Sensation measured as: While smoking your very first cigarettes, did you (1) like the taste or smell of the cigarette, (2) cough, (3) feel dizzy or light-headed, (4) feel more relaxed, (5) get a headache, (6) feel a pleasurable rush or buzz, (7) feel your heart racing, (8) feel nauseated, like vomiting, (9) feel your muscles tremble or become jittery, (10) feel burning in your throat ). Sum score of 10 questions (items #1, #4, and #6 were reverse-scored before summation): 0 points if answered No, 1= A little bit, 2= Some, 3= Quite a bit, 4= A great deal. Cronbach s alpha = , Categorization differs from original four categories (Heatherton et al. Br J Addict 1991; 86: ), i.e., 6-30 minutes is split into 6-15 min and min. In our data set 46% of smokers belong to the group of 6-30 min, and from the smoking behavior point of view there is a significant difference whether one smokes the first cigarette within 6 minutes or 30 minutes from waking up. In this data set 22% of smokers belong to the 6-15 min and 24% to the min group. 7, Factor structure of the NDSS scale with 31 items conditioned for current smoking and CPD >10 generated a three solution (as previously reported in Broms et al. Drug & Alcohol Dependence 2007; 89: 42-51). Factors accounted for 92% of the common variance among items: 1. Drive/Priority, 11 items (Cronbach s alpha (α)=0.88, accounted for 33%); 2. Stereotypy/Continuity, 9 items (α=0.89, accounted for 33%); 3. Tolerance, 5 items (α=0.82, accounted for 26%).

5 Supplemental table 2. Correlations between the studied traits. Correlations were computed as Spearman and polychoric (tetrachoric and point biserial) correlations as appropriate. Numbers of individuals range from 957 to 1114 in pair-wise correlations due to missing data.
