ABSTRACT
This study examines patterns of use for menthol/non-menthol cigarettes and Electronic Nicotine Delivery Systems (ENDS) from 2013 to 2019 among U.S. adults. We calculated the weighted population prevalence of current exclusive and dual use for each product (i.e., menthol/non-menthol cigarettes and ENDS) stratified by age, sex, race/ethnicity, household income, and education in all surveys using data from three nationally representative surveys the Population Assessment of Tobacco and Health (PATH) Study Waves 1-4 (W1-W4), 2013-2018; the National Health Interview Survey (NHIS) 2015; and the Tobacco Use Supplement to the Current Population Survey (TUS-CPS) 2014-2015 (T1) and 2018-2019 (T2). Exclusive non-menthol cigarette use (PATH 9.0%W1, 9.4%W4; NHIS 8.7%; TUS-CPS 8.1%T1, 6.9%T2) and dual non-menthol cigarette/ENDS use (PATH 2.4%W1, 1.5%W4; NHIS 1.5%; TUS-CPS 1.1%T1, 0.6%T2) were the most common single and dual tobacco use patterns, respectively, across all surveys. Both exclusive menthol cigarette use (3.9%T1-3.3%T2) and non-menthol cigarette use (8.1%T1-6.9%T2) declined in TUS-CPS from 2014/5-2018/9. Dual menthol cigarette/ENDS use also declined (PATH 1.5%W1-1.1%W4; TUS-CPS 0.5%T1-0.3%T2), as did dual non-menthol cigarette/ENDS use (PATH 2.4%W1-1.5%W4; TUS-CPS 1.1%T1-0.6%T2). Across surveys, exclusive menthol cigarette use and dual menthol cigarette/ENDS use were more common among individuals aged 25-34 years old; non-Hispanic Blacks (NHBs); and low-income earners. Single and dual use patterns of menthol/non-menthol cigarettes and ENDS have declined over time. Nevertheless, certain vulnerable population groups, including NHBs and low-income earners, disproportionately use exclusive menthol cigarettes and dual menthol cigarette/ENDS, making menthol bans a potential policy target for reducing tobacco-related health disparities.
