aIn some analyses, the sample size was smaller than the total due to missing cases.
bCurrent use is defined as using a product at least monthly at the time of survey. This applies to cigarettes, HTPs, and NVPs. For the other products, current use is defined as using the product “less than weekly” or more frequently.
cThis composite measure was defined as using any non-cigarette smoked products (ie, using any of cigar, cigarillos, pipe, water pipe, or “other” smoked tobacco product).
dUsing any of smokeless/oral tobacco or heated tobacco product (HTP, at least monthly).
eUsing NVP at least monthly. NRT: Nicotine replacement therapy.
fUsing any of nicotine pouch, NVP or NRT.
gThis identifies those who use low-risk products separate from any use of smoked. That is those who can be considered quit (if they do not smoke cigarettes).
