Perceived risks, reasons for use, and barriers to cessation among youth who use multiple tobacco products
These findings suggest that educational interventions to reduce youth MTP use could focus on correcting misperceptions about e-cigarettes and communicating the harms of combustible tobacco use. Furthermore, behavioral interventions could capitalize on peer and social support while acknowledging unique barriers resulting from MTP use, such as high nicotine dependence.
