Abstract A05: Does Dual Use of Cigarettes and Little Cigars/Cigarillos Increase the Risk for Nicotine Dependence Among Young Adults?

Conclusions. Results showed that dual use behavior is common and that there is differential risk of nicotine dependence by tobacco use subgroup type and by racial/ethnic and gender groups. Marijuana in LCCs may increase addiction to cigarettes for males, females, and Hispanics, but not for African Americans. These data are complex, but point to the need to develop tailored health messages for cigarette-only users and dual users.Citation Format: Pebbles Fagan, Pallav Pokhrel, Thaddeus Herzog, Mignonne Guy, Ian Pagano, Kymberle Sterling.
