As e-cigarette past month use increased, use became less exclusively associated with combustible tobacco use.

1. Chi-square test for difference in use of other tobacco products between past 30-day e-cigarette users and non-users (* = P < 0.001)

2. P-for-linear trend, 2011–2015

3. Non-cigarette combustibles include cigars, pipes, bidis, and kreteks (2011–2013)

4. Smokeless tobacco includes conventional smokeless tobacco, snus, and dissolvable tobacco

Marginal prevalences adjusted across years for grade in school and race/ethnicity

Subgroup sample sizes (n) are the mean sample size over 10 imputations for missing value assignment.
