“…In this study, we found a gap in knowledge on tobacco use and prevention among adolescents and youth with disabilities. Since the last systematic review on this topic was conducted in 2016 22 before the COVID-19 pandemic, an updated literature review is needed to inform researchers and policymakers. As indicated in prior studies, the use of tobacco in adolescents with disabilities can have negative educational, physical, and health impacts as they reach adulthood.…”

“…In a review of literature, Nagarajan and Okoli 22 adolescents with physical disabilities may have an increased risk of tobacco use relative to those without disabilities, however, in studies from non-representative samples, adolescents with physical disabilities were less likely to use tobacco as compared to adolescents without. Casseus et al 23 found that compared with youths without cognitive disability, youths with cognitive disability had significantly greater odds of ever and currently using any tobacco product as well as earlier age of onset.…”

The use of tobacco products by adolescents has greatly increased in recent years. Adolescents with disabilities have demonstrated higher instances of e-cigarette and tobacco use in relation to their peers without disabilities. Repercussions for e-cigarette and tobacco use increase negative physical and health implications and financial which ultimately will further the gap for individuals with disabilities over time. It is argued that adolescents with disabilities are more susceptible to begin using tobacco and remain using tobacco which can lead to further use of addictive substances. In this paper, the researcher explained the use of tobacco within the adolescent population, specifically for individuals with disabilities, the impact of tobacco use for individuals with disabilities, reviewed previous studies on tobacco use for adolescents with disabilities, points to the need for educational policy reform, and stated certain recommendations for mitigating tobacco use in adolescents with disabilities, which may result in positive future outcomes. The literature review indicated that the targeted interventions in schools or peer groups reduces tobacco use in adolescents with disabilities.

“…This is in agreement with Lee et al., 33 who reported a higher frequency of never-smokers among Koreans with disabilities than among the general population (55.8% and 48.5%) with differences by type of disability. However, Nagarajan and Okoli 34 concluded in their 2016 systematic review that adolescents with physical disabilities were more likely than others to be smokers. Similar to our study, other researchers have reported a significant association between smoking and periodontal disease but not between brushing and periodontal disease in populations with modest oral hygiene practices (odds ratio = 1.50 and 1.16).…”

ObjectiveThe need for periodontal care may negatively impact daily life. We compared the need for periodontal care and its impact on daily life between disabled and healthy adults in the Eastern Province, Saudi Arabia.MethodsIn this cross-sectional study of 819 adults, a questionnaire was used to assess personal background factors; the impact of periodontitis on pain, avoiding foods, embarrassment, sleeplessness, work absence, and discontinuing daily activities; and risk factors (smoking, diabetes, toothbrushing, insurance, professional tooth cleaning, and dental visits). The outcome was clinically assessed need for periodontal care impacting daily life. The relationship between the outcome and risk factors adjusted for personal background and disability was assessed using ordinal regression.ResultsHealthy and disabled persons had a high need for periodontal care (66.8%). Current smokers had a higher likelihood and health-insured persons had a lower likelihood of need for periodontal care impacting daily life regardless of whether disability was considered.ConclusionsMost adults needed periodontal care, and disabled persons experienced a greater impact on life. Current smokers and uninsured persons were more likely to need periodontal care impacting daily life. Our findings are important for the prevention of periodontitis through tobacco cessation and extending insurance coverage.

“…Tobacco prevention and control efforts that do not target high-risk populations can exacerbate existing disparities (6). For example, public health campaigns targeting smokers as a population have contributed to a decreased prevalence of smoking among educated and higher-income adults, with little change among those of lower socioeconomic status (23).…”

“…To effectively reduce the use of combustible tobacco products and ENDS, prevention and control efforts should target population groups that bear the greatest burden of tobacco use (6). Adolescents who report having a disability are consistently more likely to smoke cigarettes compared with their nondisabled peers (7), and this disparity continues into adulthood (8).…”

What is already known on this topic? In 2019, nearly 30% of US high-school students reported current (past 30 day) e-cigarette use. Equitable tobacco control programs should target populations with the greatest burden of exposure, yet we are unaware of any studies of e-cigarette use among adolescents with disabilities. What is added by this report? We observed disparities in tobacco use between adolescents with and without disabilities for a variety of tobacco products, including e-cigarettes. What are the implications for public health practice? Tobacco prevention and control efforts that do not target high-risk populations can exacerbate existing disparities. Our findings suggest that prevention efforts should include adolescents with disabilities.
