Background: The health consequences of polytobacco use are not well understood. We evaluated prospective associations between exclusive, dual, and polytobacco use and diagnosed bronchitis, pneumonia, or chronic cough among US youth.
Methods: Data came from Waves 1-5 of the Population Assessment of Tobacco and Health Study.
Objective: To develop the Mexico Smoking and Vaping Model (Mexico SAVM) to estimate cigarette and electronic nicotine delivery systems (ENDS) prevalence and the public health impact of legalizing ENDS use.
Methods: SAVM, a cohort-based discrete-time simulation model, compares two scenarios. The estimates smoking prevalence and associated mortality outcomes under the current policy of an ENDS ban, using Mexico-specific population projections, death rates, life expectancy, and smoking and e-cigarette prevalence.
Aim: We aim to describe disparities in dual and polytobacco use at the intersection of age, sex, race and ethnicity, and income.
Methods: We used the 2018-2019 Tobacco Use Supplement to the Current Population Survey to estimate the prevalence of combinations of dual (two products) and polytobacco (three or more products) use for cigarettes, e-cigarettes, cigars, and smokeless tobacco (n = 135,268). We created five mutually exclusive categories: 1) cigarettes and e-cigarettes, 2) cigarettes and cigars, 3) cigarettes and smokeless tobacco, 4) dual/polyuse without cigarettes, and 5) polyuse with cigarettes.
Background: The health consequences of polytobacco use are still well not understand. We evaluated prospective associations between exclusive, dual, and polytobacco use and diagnosed bronchitis, pneumonia, or chronic cough among US youth.
Methods: Data came from Waves 1-5 of the Population Assessment of Tobacco and Health Study.
Introduction: ENDS use is highly prevalent among U.S. youth, and there is concern about its respiratory health effects.

Design: A secondary analysis of the National Youth Tobacco Survey (NYTS).
Subjects: A total of 122 566 students.
Introduction: Sociodemographic disparities in tobacco use are prevalent and persistent in the United States. Nevertheless, few studies have examined disparities in tobacco use from an intersectionality perspective. We developed a visualization tool to identify disparities in cigarette, e-cigarette, cigar, and smokeless tobacco use at the intersection of multiple social identities.

Health services that meet specific and differentiated needs of adolescents are increasingly relevant in LMICs. To provide quality services, it is necessary to know the profile of its users and the perspective that adolescents have about SRH services aimed at them.

Design: We used cross-sectional data from the 2018-2019 Tobacco Use Supplement to the Current Population Survey (TUS-CPS).
Setting: United States.
It is critical to understand determinants of cigarette smoking cessation in the current tobacco product landscape. This study assesses the roles of e-cigarette flavoring, device type, and use frequency on cigarette smoking cessation behaviors among US adult dual users of cigarettes and e-cigarettes. We analyzed a sample of 1,038 adult dual users of cigarettes and e-cigarettes from the 2018-2019 Tobacco Use Supplement-Current Population Survey.

Methods: We analyzed data from five surveys (November 2019-March 2021) of an open cohort of adult smokers (n = 6500), including an oversample of those who also use e-cigarettes.
Objective: To describe the profile and patterns of dual uses (n=954) and exclusive cigarette users (n=2 070) and determine the correlates of more frequent e-cigarette use among dual users and their reasons for e-cigarette use.
Materials And Methods: An online survey of Mexican adult smokers. Logistic models regressed dual-use (exclusive smoking vs.

We used data from the 2014/2015 and 2018/2019 Tobacco Use Supplement to the Current Population Survey (TUS-CPS) and the 2015-2019 National Health Interview Survey (NHIS) to estimate trends in the following use patterns: exclusive use of cigarettes, electronic nicotine delivery systems (ENDS), other combustibles (cigars/cigarillos/little filtered cigars and traditional pipes/hookah), and smokeless tobacco (four categories); dual use (two product groups) of each product group with cigarettes (three categories); polyuse with cigarettes (all four product groups; one category); and dual/polyuse without cigarettes (one category). We estimated trends in product use patterns overall and by age, sex, and race/ethnicity using two-sample tests for differences in linear proportions.

Studies have found that smoking behaviors have been impacted by the pandemic as well; however, results have varied across studies, and it remains unclear what is causing the changes. This study of an open cohort of smokers recruited from a consumer panel ( = 2753) examined changes in cigarettes per day (CPD), daily vs.

While Mexico has strengthened its tobacco control policies, their effects on nondaily smokers have gone largely unexamined. We developed a simulation model to estimate the impact of tobacco control policies on daily and nondaily smoking in Mexico.

Materials And Methods: Data came from the National Health and Nutrition Survey 2018-19. The prevalence and proportion of flavor capsule cigarette use were estimated by sex, age, education, and wealth.
Purpose: To provide tobacco product use patterns for US adults by sociodemographic group.
Design: A secondary analysis of Tobacco Use Supplement to the Current Population Survey (2014-15), National Health Interview Survey (2015), and Population Assessment of Tobacco and Health (2015-16).
Setting: United States.
Objective: To analyse trends in cigarette brand preference among Mexican smokers during the implementation period of key WHO's Framework Convention on Tobacco Control recommendations.
Methods: Data came from two nationally representative, comparable surveys, namely the Global Adult Tobacco Survey 2009 and 2015 and the National Survey on Addictions 2011 and 2016. Logistic models were used to estimate the adjusted prevalence of each brand purchased, as well as individual correlates of purchasing the single brand with a large growth over the study period.
Introduction: Mexico was the first Latin American country to ratify the Framework Convention on Tobacco Control (FCTC) in 2004, after which it implemented some key FCTC policies (e.g., taxes, smoke-free, pictorial warnings and ad bans).

Unlabelled: This study describes the prevalence and correlates of adult smokers' discussions about electronic cigarettes (e-cigarettes) with health professionals (HPs), including whether these discussions may lead smokers and vapers to use e-cigarettes for smoking cessation.
Methods: We analyzed data from an online survey of Mexican smokers recruited from a consumer panel for marketing research. Participants who had visited an HP in the prior four months ( = 1073) were asked about discussions of e-cigarettes during that visit and whether this led them to try to quit.

This study aimed to assess sex differences in predictors for becoming a current exclusive electronic cigarette (e-cigarette) user, current exclusive smoker, or current dual user (concurrent smoking and e-cigarette use). This longitudinal study included 2399 females and 2177 males who had tried neither cigarettes nor e-cigarettes at baseline and attended 57 middle schools in the three largest cities in Mexico. We estimated multinomial logistic models stratified by sex.
