“…The present work is a secondary analysis of a larger project aimed to better understand mental and physical health sequelae of combustible cigarette smoking among a nationally representative sample of Latinx persons who smoke (e.g., Zvolensky et al, 2022; Zvolensky, Shepherd, Clausen, Garey, Redmond, et al, 2023).…”

The Latinx population in the United States (U.S.) experiences significant tobacco and other substance userelated health disparities. Yet, little is known about the couse of combustible cigarettes and e-cigarettes (dual use) in relation to substance use behavior among Latinx smokers. The present investigation compared English-speaking Latinx adults living in the United States who exclusively smoke combustible cigarettes versus dual users in terms of alcohol use and other drug use problem severity. Participants were 297 Hispanic/Latinx daily cigarette smokers (36.4% female, M age = 35.9 years, SD = 8.87) recruited nationally across the United States using Qualtrics Panels to complete self-report measures of behavioral health outcomes. Five analysis of covariance models were conducted to evaluate differences in overall alcohol consumption, dependence, related problems, hazardous drinking, and drug use problem severity between exclusive combustible cigarette smokers (N = 205) and dual users (N = 92). Results indicated that dual users evinced greater levels of alcohol consumption, dependence, alcohol-related problems, and hazardous drinking compared to exclusive combustible cigarette smokers ( ps < .001). Dual users also reported greater levels of drug use problems relative to exclusive combustible cigarette smokers ( p < .001). The current findings are among the first to document that dual cigarette and e-cigarette use status (compared to exclusive combustible cigarette smoking) may serve as a clinically relevant risk indicator for a range of deleterious substance use problems among Latinx individuals. Future research is needed to corroborate these findings and examine dual-use status as a longitudinal predictor of alcohol and other substance-related problems. Public Health SignificanceThis study is among the first to examine dual cigarette and e-cigarette use (compared to combustible cigarette use) among Latinx individuals. Findings from the current work suggest that dual use may serve as a clinically relevant risk indicator for a range of deleterious substance use problems among Latinx individuals.

“…Specific and conditional indirect effects were subjected to follow-up bootstrap analyses with 10,000 resamples from which a 95% confidence interval (CI) was estimated (Hayes, 2009; Preacher & Hayes, 2004, 2008). Covariates included age (Hymowitz et al, 1991; Park et al, 2012), sex (Hendricks et al, 2014; Wetter et al, 1999), nativity (Zvolensky, Shepherd, et al, 2020), education (Reid et al, 2010), income (Hobkirk et al, 2018), and perceived racial/ethnic discrimination (Zvolensky, Shepherd, Clausen, Garey, Redmond, Santiago-Torres, & Bricker, 2023) for all models, as well as number of cigarettes smoked per day (Benowitz, 2010) only for severity of problems when trying to quit and perceived barriers for smoking cessation. Number of cigarettes per day was not included as a covariate in the model of cigarette dependence because it is an inherent element of dependence…”
