INTRODUCTION
This study examined in youth (12-17 years), young adults (18-24 years), and adults (25+ years): (1) the prevalence of the first menthol cigarette and menthol/mint cigar use among new tobacco users; (2) association between the first menthol/mint use, subsequent tobacco use, and nicotine dependence ~1 year later compared with the first non-menthol/mint use.
AIMS AND METHODS
Longitudinal analysis of data from Waves 1 to 4 of the Population Assessment of Tobacco and Health (PATH) Study (2013-2017; 10 086 youth and 21 281 adults). Main outcome measures were past 12-month and past 30-day cigarette and cigar use, and nicotine dependence.
RESULTS
Youth and young adult new cigarette users are more likely to smoke a menthol cigarette or indicate that they do not know the flavor compared with adults aged 25+. A greater proportion of adults aged 25+ first used menthol/mint-flavored cigars (13.4%) compared with youth (8.5%) and young adults (7.4%). Among young adults, first use of a menthol cigarette is associated with past 12-month use of cigarettes at the subsequent wave and first use of any menthol/mint-flavored cigars is associated with past 30-day use of these products at the subsequent wave in both youth and young adults. In youth and adults, there were no significant relationships between first use of a menthol/mint cigarette or cigar and nicotine dependence scores at a subsequent wave in multivariable analyses.
CONCLUSIONS
The first use of menthol/mint cigarettes and cigars is associated with subsequent cigarette and cigar use in young people aged 12-24.
IMPLICATIONS
This study examined the relationship between initiation with menthol cigarettes and menthol/mint cigars, subsequent tobacco use, and nicotine dependence in US youth, young adults, and adults who participated in Waves 1-4 of the Population Assessment of Tobacco and Health study. New use of menthol cigarettes was associated with greater past 12-month cigarette use in young adults and new use of menthol/mint-flavored cigars was associated with greater past 30-day cigar use in youth and young adults compared with non-menthol use. Initiation with menthol/mint cigarette and cigar products may lead to subsequent use of those products.
介绍
本研究在青少年（12-17 岁）、年轻人（18-24 岁）和成年人（25 岁及以上）中调查了以下内容：（1）新烟草使用者中首次使用薄荷醇香烟和薄荷/薄荷雪茄的流行率；（2）与首次使用非薄荷/薄荷醇相比，首次使用薄荷/薄荷醇与随后的烟草使用和尼古丁依赖的关联~1 年后。
目的和方法
对来自烟草与健康人群评估（PATH）研究波 1 至 4 期（2013-2017 年；10086 名青少年和 21281 名成年人）的数据进行纵向分析。主要结果测量指标为过去 12 个月和过去 30 天的香烟和雪茄使用情况以及尼古丁依赖程度。
结果
与 25 岁及以上的成年人相比，青少年和年轻的成年新香烟使用者更有可能吸烟薄荷香烟或表示他们不知道口味。与年轻人（8.5%）和年轻人（7.4%）相比，更多的 25 岁以上成年人首次使用薄荷/薄荷味雪茄（13.4%）。在年轻人中，首次使用薄荷香烟与随后波次的过去 12 个月香烟使用有关，首次使用任何薄荷/薄荷味雪茄与年轻人和年轻人的随后波次的过去 30 天使用这些产品有关。在青少年和成年人中，在多变量分析中，首次使用薄荷/薄荷醇香烟或雪茄与随后波次的尼古丁依赖评分之间没有显著关系。
结论
首次使用薄荷/薄荷醇香烟和雪茄与年轻人的后续香烟和雪茄使用有关。
意义
本研究在美国青少年、年轻人和成年人中调查了薄荷醇香烟和薄荷/薄荷雪茄的使用与随后的烟草使用和尼古丁依赖之间的关系，这些成年人参加了人口烟草与健康评估研究波 1-4。新使用薄荷香烟与年轻人中过去 12 个月香烟使用量增加有关，新使用薄荷/薄荷味雪茄与年轻人和年轻人中过去 30 天雪茄使用量增加有关，而非薄荷醇使用量。薄荷醇/薄荷醇卷烟和雪茄产品的初始使用可能导致随后对这些产品的使用。
