To describe patterns of menthol/non-menthol cigarettes with flavored e-cigarettes (tobacco, menthol, sweet/spicy, and other flavorings) use.
We used cross-sectional data from the 2018-2019 Tobacco Use Supplement to the Current Population Survey (TUS-CPS).
United States.
Adults over 18 years old.
A nationally representative sample (n = 135 329).
We generated a 15-category variable of all combinations of cigarette and e-cigarette flavoring use.
We estimated population prevalence (PP) for the 15-category flavored cigarette and e-cigarette use variable and proportion of flavored cigarette and e-cigarette use among adults who used cigarettes or e-cigarettes (PAU) by age, sex, race/ethnicity, and income.
Exclusive menthol cigarette use was higher among NH Black (PP = 8.79%, PAU = 68.96%) and low-income (PP = 4.86%, PAU = 29.09%) compared to NH White (PP = 2.63%, PAU = 18.83%) and high-income participants (PP = 1.25%, PAU = 19.02%). Exclusive sweet/spicy e-cigarette use (PP = 1.32%, PAU = 10.22%) and exclusive menthol e-cigarette use (PP = .95%, PAU = 7.40%) was higher in younger (18-34) vs older (35+) adults (PP = .34% and PAU = 2.76%, and PP = .14%, PAU = 1.11%, respectively). Older dual users tended to combine the same flavor in both products (eg, menthol cigarettes + menthol e-cigarettes), while younger adults were more likely to combine menthol and non-menthol cigarettes with sweet/spicy e-cigarettes.
Findings suggest that a menthol cigarette ban might be most effective in conjunction with sweet/spicy e-cigarette flavor restrictions, given these flavors are attractive for younger adults.
描述薄荷/非薄荷香烟与风味电子烟（烟草、薄荷、甜/辣和其他口味）使用的模式。
我们使用了 2018-2019 年美国人口普查当前人口调查（TUS-CPS）烟草使用补充调查的横断面数据。
美国。
18 岁以上成年人。
全国代表性样本（n = 135329）。
我们生成了一个包含所有香烟和电子烟调味使用组合的 15 类变量。
我们根据年龄、性别、种族/民族和收入，估计了 15 类风味香烟和电子烟使用变量的总体流行率（PP）以及在使用香烟或电子烟的成年人中风味香烟和电子烟使用的比例（PAU）。
与 NH 白人（PP = 2.63%，PAU = 18.83%）和高收入参与者（PP = 1.25%，PAU = 19.02%）相比，NH 黑人（PP = 8.79%，PAU = 68.96%）和低收入（PP = 4.86%，PAU = 29.09%）参与者更倾向于使用纯薄荷烟。纯甜/辣电子烟使用（PP = 1.32%，PAU = 10.22%）和纯薄荷电子烟使用（PP =.95%，PAU = 7.40%）在年轻（18-34 岁）成年人中更高（PP =.34%和 PAU = 2.76%，和 PP =.14%和 PAU = 1.11%，分别）。年龄较大的双重使用者倾向于在两种产品中组合相同的口味（例如，薄荷香烟+薄荷电子烟），而年轻成年人更有可能将薄荷和非薄荷香烟与甜/辣电子烟结合使用。
这些发现表明，鉴于薄荷香烟禁令可能与甜/辣电子烟口味限制一起最有效，因为这些口味对年轻成年人很有吸引力。
