Longitudinal association of exclusive and dual use of menthol cigarettes and flavored cigars with cigarette and cigar smoking cessation among U.S. adults - population assessment of tobacco and health study waves 1-5 (2013-2019).

ABSTRACT:

Objective

To examine the relationship between menthol cigarette and flavored cigar use, alone or in combination, and short-term smoking cessation among U.S. adults.

Methods

We fit multivariable discrete-time survival models to a nationally representative sample of U.S. adults with current established cigarette or cigar use, adjusting for age, sex, race, ethnicity, income, cigarette pack-years, tobacco dependency, cigarette and cigar smoking intensity, and blunt use.

Results

The majority of sample respondents (n = 8
