Given the increases in alternative tobacco product (ATP) and marijuana use, we examined self-reported likelihood of allowing ATP and marijuana use in the home among young adults.
We analyzed data from a study of students aged 18 to 25 years ( = 2865) at 7 Georgia colleges and universities. Variables included: personal, household members', and friends' tobacco (cigarettes, little cigars and cigarillos [LCCs], e-cigarettes, hookah) and marijuana use and the perceived harm to health, harm of byproducts, addictiveness, and social acceptability of each. Regression models were specified to examine correlates of the likelihood of allowing use of each product in the home.
Personal use prevalence ranged from 5.5% for e-cigarettes to 12.5% for marijuana. E-cigarettes were most likely to be allowed in the home; cigarettes were least. Regression indicated that others' use and the perceived social acceptability of using each product was correlated with greater likelihood of allowing the use of a product. A greater likelihood of allowing cigarette and LCC use in the home was only associated with cigarette or LCC use, respectively; a greater likelihood of allowing e-cigarette use was associated with current e-cigarette use; greater likelihood of allowing hookah use was associated with using any product except e-cigarettes; and greater likelihood of allowing marijuana use was associated with LCC and marijuana use. Perceived harm to health, byproduct harms, and addictiveness were differentially related to the likelihood of allowing use of different products.
ATPs and marijuana may undermine efforts to protect against environmental toxins in the home, thus warranting interventions targeting young adults.
鉴于替代烟草产品（ATP）和大麻使用的增加，我们研究了年轻人在家中报告的允许使用 ATP 和大麻的可能性。
我们分析了在佐治亚州 7 所学院和大学对 18 至 25 岁学生（=2865 人）进行的一项研究的数据。变量包括：个人、家庭成员和朋友的烟草（香烟、小雪茄和小雪茄、电子烟、水烟）和大麻使用情况，以及对每种产品对健康的危害、副产物危害、成瘾性和社会可接受性的认知。指定回归模型来检验每种产品在家中使用的可能性的相关因素。
个人使用的流行率从电子烟的 5.5%到大麻的 12.5%不等。电子烟最有可能在家中使用；香烟则最不可能。回归分析表明，他人使用和对每种产品使用的社会可接受性与允许使用产品的可能性呈正相关。在家中允许使用香烟和小雪茄的可能性仅与香烟或小雪茄的使用有关；允许使用电子烟的可能性与当前使用电子烟有关；允许使用水烟的可能性与使用任何产品（电子烟除外）有关；允许使用大麻的可能性与使用小雪茄和大麻有关。对健康的危害、副产物危害和成瘾性与允许使用不同产品的可能性有不同的关系。
ATP 和大麻可能会破坏在家中防止环境毒素的努力，因此需要针对年轻人的干预措施。
