“…Furthermore, research about polytobacco use among North American adolescents found that 81% of e-cigarette users also used at least one other tobacco product [35]. In a similar study among North American adolescents and young adults, 55.9% were classified as polytobacco users [36]. The results of the present study are also consistent with previous research among North American young adults that reported using at least two tobacco products, with shisha being the most common, followed by regular cigarettes and e-cigarettes [37].…”

Polytobacco use has become increasingly popular among young adults, particularly males, and can be defined as the concurrent use of regular cigarettes and other tobacco products (e.g., e-cigarettes). The present study investigated the use of legal smoking products (cigarettes, waterpipe and electronic cigarettes) among young adults (n = 355) in Spain and Turkey. The survey measured demographics, lifetime and past month tobacco use, waterpipe and e-cigarette use, whether waterpipes and e-cigarettes contained nicotine and reasons for using these substances. The majority of the Turkish (men = 80% and women = 63.9%) and Spanish sample (men = 61.4% and women = 69.3%) were polytobacco users. The most common reason for using e-cigarettes was "to experiment, to see what is like" (Turkish sample: men 66.7% and women 57.1; Spanish sample: men 72.7% and women 93.8%). The most common reason to use regular cigarettes was "to relax and relieve tension" (Turkish sample: men 88.9% and women 77.6%; Spanish sample: men 78.1% and women 76%), while for waterpipe users, the most common reason was "to experiment, to see what it is like" (Turkish sample: men 93.3% and women 80%; Spanish sample: men 78.9% and women 93.8%). The implications for prevention and future research are discussed.

“…Available longitudinal evidence suggests that, after controlling for observables, youth who reported using e-cigarettes were no more likely to use cigarettes 1 year later than youth who did not use e-cigarettes (Conner et al 2018). About half of e-cigarette users jointly used cigarettes (11.5%), cigars (7.7%), and cigars and water pipes (5.2%) (King et al 2018). Using data from five nationally representative cross-sectional surveys, Levy et al (2019) find associations that suggest that youth are substituting e-cigarettes for cigarettes.…”

BackgroundPoly-tobacco product use is increasingly popular, but little is known about the patterns, trends of concomitant use, and risk factors particularly in non-western countries.MethodA representative sample of 1139 current cigarette smokers aged 15+ (84.1% male) were telephone interviewed in Tobacco Control Policy-related Surveys in 2015-2017. Information collected included poly-tobacco use (PTU), smoking and socio-demographic characteristics. Associations of current PTU with related risk factors were analyzed using logistic regression with adjustment for confounders. Prevalence was weighted by age and sex of current cigarette users in the general population.Results 15.9% (95% CI 13.4-18.6%) were current poly-users, 12.3% (10.2-14.8%) used one tobacco product and 2.52% (1.59-3.97%) used two tobacco products in addition to cigarette. The co-use of cigarette with cigar was more common and the least co-use product was e-cigarette with cigarette. By age group, proportion of co-use of cigarette with waterpipe was highest in young poly-users, older age used more cigar and self-rolling cigarette in addition to cigarette. Prevalence of two products use with cigarette was low. Trends of concomitant use were varied. Current PTU was associated with being male (AOR 2.01, 95% CI 1.12-3.61), younger age (AORs range from 1.34-4.65, P for trend < .001) and less ready to quit (2.08, 1.09-3.97). ConclusionsPrevalence of PTU increased slowly by year, co-use of one tobacco product with cigarette was more common. Being male, younger and less ready to quit were associated with current PTU.
