Analytic sample includes individuals with curiosity recorded in Wave 1 and Wave 2 for at least one tobacco product and complete data on adjustment variables (N=7352). Individuals who had used a product by Wave 2 were no longer asked about their willingness to try that product.

Adjustment variables: gender (female vs. male), age group (15–17 vs. 12–14 years), race/ethnicity (Hispanic/Latino, Non-Hispanic Black, Non-Hispanic White, other), US Census region (Northeast, Midwest, South, West), sensation seeking score (range: 3–15), home tobacco use (yes/no), alcohol ever use (yes/no), tobacco advertisement receptivity (yes/no), parental education attainment (at least some college vs. less), baseline willingness, and initiation of each other tobacco product type.

Smokeless tobacco includes conventional moist snuff or chewing tobacco, snus, and dissolvable tobacco. Other combustible tobacco includes cigars, pipes, bidis, and kreteks.
