The purpose of this case study is to examine the relationship between the initiation of cigarette smoking, combustible cigarette, and dual-product use among US youth. The study aims to estimate the longitudinal association between noncigarette tobacco use and subsequent cigarette smoke initiation among youth.
The prevalence of mental health problems among youth with and without attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is significantly higher than that among youth without ADHD. The study also seeks to investigate whether internalizing and externalizing problems are associated with cigarette use and initiation age of regular use among adolescents.
