Disparities in smokefree and vapefree home rules and smokefree policy attitudes based on housing type and cigarette smoking status, United States, 2019
Reyes-Guzman CM , Patel M , Wang TW , Corcy N , Chomenko D , Slotman B , Vollinger RE Jr . Int J Environ Res Public Health 2023 20 (14) This study examined variations in cigarette smoking status, home smoking and vaping rules, and attitudes toward smoking rules among U.S. adults. We analyzed data from the 2019 U.S. Census Bureau's Current Population Survey Supplements (n = 40,296 adults) and calculated weighted prevalence estimates of adult cigarette smoking based on housing type. In 2019, multi-unit housing (MUH) residents who currently smoked were predominantly residents of privately rented housing (66.9%), followed by privately owned (17.6%) and public housing (15.5%). MUH residents who currently smoked had the highest proportions of allowing smoking (26.7%) or vaping (29.1%) anywhere inside their homes and were least likely to support rules allowing smoking inside all MUH apartments or living areas. In the adjusted models, MUH residents with a current smoking status were 92% less likely to have a complete smoking ban. More than one in four MUH residents with a current smoking status allowed all smoking inside the home and supported allowing smoking inside all MUH apartment or living areas, reinforcing how MUH residents may be at higher risk of experiencing secondhand smoke or aerosol exposure, or incursions within their places of residence. Our results can inform the development, implementation, and sustainment of strategies to reduce exposures from tobacco and nicotine products in all living environments. |
A longitudinal analysis of respiratory illness and tobacco use transitions
Mayer M , Shin YE , Baker L , Cordova J , Mayne RG , Reyes-Guzman CM , Pfeiffer RM , Choi K . Am J Prev Med 2023 64 (2) 175-183 INTRODUCTION: Among individuals with chronic respiratory conditions, transitions between patterns of tobacco product use are not well understood. This study examines how transitions, including quitting altogether, differ over time between those who do and do not have chronic respiratory conditions. METHODS: Data from youth and adult participants of the longitudinal Population Assessment of Tobacco and Health Study (2013-2018) were analyzed. Youth aged 12-17 years were included if they had aged into the adult sample by Wave 4. Stratified polytomous regression models built under a first-order Markov assumption modeled the probability of transitioning between different states/patterns of tobacco product use (exclusive current E-cigarette use, exclusive current combustible tobacco product use, current dual use of combustible products and E-cigarettes, and no current tobacco product use) at each wave. Marginal transition probabilities were computed as a function of ever or past-year diagnosis of a respiratory condition (separately for asthma and a composite variable representing chronic bronchitis, emphysema, and/or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease). Analyses were conducted in 2020-2021. RESULTS: Most individuals, regardless of respiratory condition, maintained the same pattern of tobacco use between waves. Exclusive combustible tobacco product users, including those with or without a respiratory condition, were not likely to become exclusive E-cigarette users or to quit using tobacco entirely. CONCLUSIONS: Although combustible tobacco use negatively impacts the management and prognosis of respiratory illnesses, combustible tobacco users who were recently diagnosed with a chronic respiratory condition were not likely to quit using tobacco. Efforts to encourage and support cessation in this medically vulnerable population should be increased. |
Biomarkers of exposure among adult smokeless tobacco users in the population assessment of Tobacco and Health Study (Wave 1, 2013-14)

Cancer Epidemiol Biomarkers Prev 2020 29 (3) 659-667 BACKGROUND: Monitoring population-level toxicant exposures from smokeless tobacco (SLT) use is important for assessing population health risks due to product use. In this study, we assessed tobacco biomarkers of exposure (BOEs) among SLT users from the Wave 1 (2013-14) of the Population Assessment of Tobacco and Health (PATH) Study. METHODS: Urinary biospecimens were collected from adults aged 18 and older. Biomarkers of nicotine, tobacco-specific nitrosamines (TSNAs), polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), volatile organic compounds (VOCs), metals, and inorganic arsenic were analyzed and reported among exclusive current established SLT users in comparison to exclusive current established cigarette smokers, dual SLT and cigarette users, and never tobacco users. RESULTS: In general, SLT users (n=448) have significantly higher concentrations of biomarkers of exposure to nicotine, TSNAs and PAHs compared to never tobacco users; significant dose-response relationships between frequency of SLT use and biomarker concentrations were also reported among exclusive SLT daily users. Exclusive SLT daily users have higher geometric mean concentrations of total nicotine equivalent-2 (TNE2) and TSNAs than exclusive cigarette daily smokers. In contrast, geometric mean concentrations of PAHs and VOCs were substantially lower among exclusive SLT daily users than exclusive cigarette daily smokers. CONCLUSIONS: Our study produced a comprehensive assessment of SLT product use and 52 biomarkers of tobacco exposure. Compared to cigarette smokers, SLT users experience greater concentrations of some tobacco toxicants, including nicotine and TSNAs. IMPACT: Our data add information on the risk assessment of exposure to SLT-related toxicants. High levels of harmful constituents in SLT remain a health concern. |
