Adolescent dual-product users: Acquisition and situational use of cigarettes and cigars

Rates of cigarette and cigar, cigarillo, and little cigar (CCLC) use have been declining over the last two decades among adolescents, and rates of current use of both products among high school students are similar, with 10.8% reporting cigarette use and 10.3% for CCLC (Kann et al., 2016). Further, 43.0% of adolescents (12-17 years old) who currently use tobacco report using more than one tobacco product. Cigarette and cigarillo use is the second most common combination of tobacco products for 10.1% of adolescent users of multiple types of tobacco; among multiple tobacco product users, 14% of youth and 22% of adults report using cigarettes with another cigar product (Kasza et al., 2017).
