Assess the significance of each of the variables?

A Cox proportional-hazards model was fit to these data to assess the relationship between age, sex, number of cigarettes smoked, and log10CO concentration, when considered simultaneously, on the ability to remain abstinent from smoking. The results are given in Table 14.32.
