Meta AnalysisLongitudinal associations between use and co-use of cigars and cigarettes: A pooled analysis of three adolescent cohorts.
Patterns of adolescent tobacco product use are evolving rapidly and need examination. We assessed whether ever use of cigars (i.e., lifetime use) was related to an increased risk of subsequent cigarette initiation and dual use of cigars and cigarettes. ⋯ Comprehensive tobacco regulations and early prevention efforts focused on reducing youth appeal of cigars may be warranted, as cigar use may place youth at risk for subsequent cigarette use as well as dual use of cigars and cigarettes.
