Identifying characteristics associated with the use of new and emerging tobacco products is a priority. The enumeration and baseline characteristics of a new cohort of adult tobacco users are described.
Residents, ≥18 years of age, in urban Franklin County, or one of 6 rural Appalachian counties, and who were exclusive users of combustible, smokeless (SLT), or electronic nicotine delivery systems (ENDS) tobacco products, or were dual users, were targeted for recruitment. Participants were interviewed in-person at baseline on sociodemographic characteristics, tobacco product use, and cognitive/affective and purchasing factors.
We recruited 1210 participants (urban, N = 595; rural, N = 615). Urban participants were less likely to use tobacco daily, began using tobacco later, used tobacco for less time, and had higher cessation interest. ENDS users were significantly less likely to have made a quit attempt than users of other tobacco products. Duration of tobacco use and nicotine dependence also differed by product type.
This cohort's enumeration allowed us to compare factors associated with tobacco product preferences and the use of novel products. The inclusion of rural Appalachia-a region with high tobacco use and disease burden-may provide additional insights into the implementation of tobacco control interventions.
确定与新型烟草产品使用相关的特征是当务之急。本文描述了一组新的成年烟草使用者的数量及基线特征。
目标招募富兰克林县城市地区或阿巴拉契亚山区6个农村县中年龄≥18岁、仅使用可燃烟草、无烟烟草（SLT）或电子烟（ENDS）产品的居民，或同时使用两种产品的居民。在基线时对参与者进行面对面访谈，了解其社会人口学特征、烟草产品使用情况以及认知/情感和购买因素。
我们招募了1210名参与者（城市地区595名，农村地区615名）。城市参与者每日使用烟草的可能性较小，开始使用烟草的时间较晚，使用烟草的时间较短，且戒烟意愿较高。与其他烟草产品使用者相比，电子烟使用者尝试戒烟的可能性显著较低。烟草使用时长和尼古丁依赖程度也因产品类型而异。
对这一队列的统计使我们能够比较与烟草产品偏好和新型产品使用相关的因素。纳入烟草使用率和疾病负担较高的阿巴拉契亚农村地区，可能会为烟草控制干预措施的实施提供更多见解。
