By Neha MathurMay 8 2023Reviewed by Danielle Ellis, B.Sc. In a recent Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report , researchers working at the United States Center for Disease Control and Prevention , Food and Drug Administration , and National Cancer Institute analyzed the 2021 National Health Interview Survey data to assess recent national estimates of commercial tobacco use among US adults.
Specifically, they assessed prevalence estimates and quit ratios for five tobacco products, cigarettes, e-cigarettes, cigars, pipes , and smokeless tobacco, e.g., snuff, dip, or dissolvable tobacco. They stratified 2021 results by gender, age group, race/ethnicity, US census bureau region, marital and educational status of adults, income-to-poverty ratio, sexual inclination, insurance coverage, disability, and presence of psychological distress.
In 2021, the percentage of e-cigarette, cigar, smokeless tobacco, and pipe smokers was 4.5%, 3.5%, 2.1%, and 0.9%, respectively, corresponding to 46 million, i.e., 18.7% of US adults using any tobacco product. While 77.5% self-reported using combustible tobacco products, e.g., cigars, 18.1% reported using multiple tobacco products.
