Publication bias was assessed using Begg's and Egger's tests. On the basis of these statistical tests, there was no evidence of publication bias among studies addressing the association between smoking and suicidal ideation (P = 0.306 and P = 0.200), suicide plan (P = 0.621 and P = 0.823), suicide attempt (P = 0.205 and P = 0.821), and suicide death (P = 0.322 and P = 0.484), respectively.
