Pediatrics

Prevalence of non-tobacco oral nicotine product use among adolescents is unknown. This study calculated prevalence of ever and past 6-month use of nicotine pouches, other non-tobacco oral nicotine products, e-cigarettes, cigarettes, hookah or waterpipe, cigars, cigarillos, and snus among high school students in Southern California between September and December 2021. Generalized linear mixed models tested associations of sociodemographic factors and tobacco-product use with use of any non-tobacco oral nicotine product. Flavored non-tobacco oral nicotine products were the second most prevalent nicotine product used by adolescents in Southern California. They were disproportionately used by certain racial and ethnic, sexual, or gender minority groups and those with a history of nicotine use.
