Table 4.

Rates of youth SLT use by level of perceived relative harm: Unweighted ns and weighted %s.

Direct Measure of SLT Perceived Relative Harm

Less Harmful than Cigarettes Equally Harmful as Cigarettes More Harmful than Cigarettes Don’t Know

Past 30-Day Use 79 (7.2) 101 (1.9) 21 (0.8) 0 (0)
Non-Past-30-Day Use 63 (5.2) 248 (4.5) 100 (3.8) 9 (0.9)
Never Use 1015 (87.6) 4985 (93.6) 2629 (95.4) 734 (99.1)

Indirect Measure of SLT Perceived Relative Harm

Less Harmful than Cigarettes Equally Harmful as Cigarettes More Harmful than Cigarettes Don’t Know

Past 30-Day Use 121 (4.3) 63 (1.0) 14 (2.9) 1 (0.8)
Non-Past-30-Day Use 144 (4.9) 237 (3.7) 37 (5.9) 1 (0.8)
Never Use 2703 (90.8) 5983 (95.3) 529 (91.3) 147 (98.5)

Note: For each cross-tabulation, participants lacking data on either variable were excluded (n = 3667 and n = 3671 for analyses of the direct and indirect measures, respectively). Most of these participants lacked data because they reported never seeing or hearing of SLT.
