Cannabis use and associated longitudinal transitions in electronic nicotine delivery systems use among young adults in the United States.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

Cannabis is increasingly the first substance used by young people and research indicates that cannabis use may precede the onset of tobacco use. Little is known, however, about the role of cannabis use in stages of electronic nicotine delivery systems (ENDS) uptake and progression across young adulthood. This study examined the associations between past 30-day (P30D) cannabis use frequency and transitions in ENDS use among young adults.
