“…Our data showing that AYAs who identify as LGBTQ+ have a higher likelihood of susceptibility to use different devices are consistent with previous studies [ 18 , 20 , 21 ]. The finding that AYAs identifying as LGBTQ+ were more likely to have ever used pod/cartridge-based devices is supported by evidence from a California-based study where participants identifying as LGBTQ+ were more likely to have used JUUL in the past 12 months [ 18 ].…”

“…Previous studies show that LGBTQ+ youth are more receptive to marketing compared to other youth [ 20 ]; thus, educational and prevention programs may be developed and tested for their effects on preventing and reducing e-cigarette susceptibility and use among LGBTQ+ youth. A recent study suggests that sexual minority young adults were more likely to be exposed to advertising in retail, gas station, or convenience stores [ 21 ], which may warrant educational content focused on dissecting marketing exposure and messages that are common in these locations.…”

“…Overall, studies examining sociodemographic factors associated with e-cigarette use have shown that younger AYAs are more likely to be susceptible to using e-cigarettes [ 17 ] and JUUL [ 18 ] and are more likely to have ever used JUUL in the past 30 days [ 18 , 19 ]. In addition, albeit with varying definitions, sexual minority adolescents compared to heterosexual adolescents or AYAs identifying as LGBTQ+ compared to non-LGBTQ+ were more likely to be susceptible to using e-cigarettes [ 18 ], and were more likely to have ever used [ 20 , 21 ] and used e-cigarettes in the past 30 days [ 21 ]. Other studies show that Hispanic compared to non-Hispanic White AYAs were more likely to be susceptible to using e-cigarettes [ 17 ], and that ever using JUUL and using JUUL in the past 30 days was less likely among Black/African American non-Hispanic AYAs compared to non-Hispanic White AYAs [ 19 ].…”

Numerous studies have identified sociodemographic factors associated with susceptibility, ever-use and past-30-day use of e-cigarettes, including JUUL. However, it remains unknown which sociodemographic factors are associated with adolescents’ and young adults’ (AYA) use of the entire spectrum of different types of e-cigarette devices (e.g., disposables, pod/cartridge-based, and other e-cigarettes, like mods or tanks). The aim of this study was to examine the relationship between sociodemographic factors and use, future use intent and susceptibility to use different e-cigarette device types. We conducted a national online survey using a convenience sample of 13–24-year-olds, 50:50 e-cigarette ever- to never-users and sex and race/ethnicity balanced per the U.S. Census (n = 4351). Sociodemographic factors were not associated with ever use of disposables among AYAs or generally with intent to use e-cigarette devices in the future. However, sociodemographic factors were related to the use of pod/cartridge-based and other e-cigarette devices. LGBTQ+ AYAs were more likely to use pod/cartridge-based devices and to be susceptible to using all device types compared to other AYAs. Young adults, males, and other/multiracial non-Hispanic AYAs were more likely to report past-30-day-use of all devices and AA/Black non-Hispanic AYAs were more likely to report past-30-day use of pod/cartridge-based and other devices compared to former users. AA/Black non-Hispanic AYAs were more likely to be susceptible to using all devices and other/multiracial non-Hispanic AYAs were susceptible to using other devices (compared to White non-Hispanic AYAs). AYAs under 21 who were former users were more likely to intend using other devices in the future compared to AYAs 21 years or above. These findings may inform targeted prevention efforts to curb the growing popularity of different devices among AYAs.

“…The regression models were stratified by sex because of previous research indicating that lesbian and bisexual girls had significantly higher odds of E-cigarette use than heterosexual girls, whereas there were no significant differences in E-cigarette use prevalence among boys on the basis of sexual identity. 24,31,35 Those multivariable multinomial logistic regression models simultaneously tested main effects and interactions. As RR measures could overstate differences between groups, the absolute risk differences of each group (marginal effect) were also estimated.…”

“…Tobacco and nicotine product use among sexual minority (SM)-lesbian, gay and bisexual-populations are higher than among heterosexuals [1][2][3][4][5]. In Wave 1 (W1; 2013-2014) of the nationally representative Population Assessment of Tobacco and Health (PATH) Study, current tobacco use was reported by 39.8% of gay/lesbian adults and 45.7% of bisexual adults, as compared to 27.3% of straight adults [6].…”

Concurrent Hookah (Waterpipe) and Substance Use among Sexual Minority Adults in the United States: Findings from the Population Assessment of Tobacco and Health Study

et al. 2022

Despite higher rates of hookah (i.e., waterpipe) tobacco smoking among sexual minority (SM) adults, little is known on concurrent substance use, including alcohol or other drugs, among SM hookah smokers as compared to their heterosexual counterparts. Utilizing data from the Population Assessment of Tobacco and Health Study (2013–2015), weighted analyses compared concurrent substance use among current SM adult hookah smokers versus heterosexuals. Findings revealed that SM hookah smokers had a higher prevalence of concurrent alcohol, marijuana and other drug use, including stimulants and sedatives, than heterosexuals (p < 0.05). As compared to heterosexuals, SM women and young adult (18–24 years old) smokers had higher odds of marijuana use (Women: Wave 1 odds ratio (OR), 2.16, [95% CI = 1.30–3.60]; Wave 2 OR, 2.67 [95% CI = 1.36–5.25]); young adults: Wave 1 OR, 1.55, [95% CI = 0.99–2.43]; Wave 2 OR, 2.19, [95% CI = 1.22–3.94]). In this population-based, representative sample of U.S. adults, concurrent hookah smoking and substance use differed between SM and heterosexuals. Sexual minority women and young adult hookah tobacco smokers were at increased risk for concurrent marijuana use, increasing the risk for health-related consequences in this group vulnerable to tobacco and substance use.
