First Used Nicotine/Cannabis Product and Associated Outcomes in Late Adolescents

CONCLUSIONS: Adolescents and young adults who use nicotine may be at increased risk for greater nicotine use and mental health consequences, but initiating NTP use simultaneously with cannabis may not increase the risk of negative outcomes above and beyond nicotine initiation. Prospective longitudinal research is needed to establish temporal associations between first-used NTP/cannabis products and relevant outcomes.PMID:38170177 | DOI:10.1080/10826084.2023.2294975
