Purpose: The aim of the study was to assess adolescent and young adult support for banning the sale of various tobacco and marijuana products and describe whether support varies by tobacco or marijuana use status.
Methods: We analyzed data from a California school-based survey (N = 450) on tobacco access, perceptions, social norms, marketing, and use.
Results: We found a majority of respondents favored gradually banning the sale of cigarettes (76%); e-cigarettes other than JUULs (55%); JUULs (59%); cigars, cigarillos, and little cigars (70%); and hookah (54%). A majority of ever and never users favored immediately banning the sale of cigarettes. Support for gradual, immediate, and drugstore bans was higher among never users for every policy except an immediate ban on cigarette sales, for which there was no difference between the 2 groups.
Conclusions: There is broad support for aggressive tobacco control interventions, especially for combustible tobacco products, among a sample of California youth and young adults.
