Sociodemographic and Smoking Characteristics Associated With Low Perceived Harm of “Organic” and “Additive-Free” Tobacco Products Among US Adults
In light of recent changes in the tobacco marketing environment, this study provides an update on harm perceptions from "organic" and "additive-free" cigarette product descriptors. Results indicate that many US adults continue to believe that "organic" and "additive-free" tobacco products are less harmful tobacco products. These beliefs may continue to mislead people, as they are more prevalent among young people, people who identify as Black, males, people who smoke cigarettes, and those who smoke NAS cigarettes.
