CCLC, cigar, cigarillo, or little cigar.

a. Includes full sample to predict odds of current CCLC use.

b. Includes current CCLC users and youth who report current freaking to predict odds of freaking.

c. Includes current CCLC users and youth who report current blunting to predict odds of blunting.

d. An interaction was detected between this variable and race/ethnicity such that risk was only significantly associated with increased odds of CCLC use for Blacks.

e. Significant OR at P<.05.
