Putting the “Tobacco” in Tobacco-Free Blunt Wraps: Early Evidence From Adolescents Who Use Cannabis Blunts Signals a Potential Need for Regulatory Action
Although some brands of TFBWs specifically note that their products are not intended for tobacco use, blunts are user-rolled. Results demonstrate that among adolescents who use cannabis blunts and endorse TFBW use, 12.4% have added tobacco to a TFBW and 8.7% regularly do so. If findings are replicated in future national survey studies of adolescents and adults, this would support the United States Food and Drug Administration in regulating TFBWs as tobacco products.
