Methods
Three cohort studies were used to examine the onset of ever use and current (past 30 days) use of each tobacco product among never-using youth (11 to <17 years) and young adults (18–24 years) at baseline (2013–2015) to one-year follow-up (2015–2016)



Conclusions
These findings extend prior research on the timing of the onset of tobacco use by using longitudinal analyses from three contemporary cohort studies to include not just cigarettes, but also e-cigarettes, cigar products, and hookah. Among those who were never-users of tobacco products, young adults began to ever and currently use all tobacco products more than youth in these samples, a marked departure from prior decades of research.



You mean to tell me that adult products are being used by.... adults?

Pretty soon some tobacco control loon will float the idea of banning the use of tobacco products to anyone between the ages of 18 and 24 :facepalm:

Split the difference to 21 and you'll find plenty of places trying to do exactly that.
