The reference category for the outcome variable was “very risky”; aOR adjusted for sex, age, race/ethnicity, education, physical health and sexual orientation; Boldface indicates statistical significance (*p < .05, **p < .01, ***p < .001); LCCs = Little cigars, cigarillos, or filtered cigars; NH = non-Hispanic; HS = high school; REF = Reference category.
