A new study published in the journal Nicotine & Tobacco Research reveals new patterns of tobacco use among Veterans compared to civilians: Veterans are more likely to use all commercial tobacco products—including cigarettes, cigars, pipes, e-cigarettes, and smokeless tobacco. Veterans also had a higher risk for former and current tobacco use, as well as any combustible tobacco product use, and multiple product use. Almost 1 in 4 Veterans reported currently using tobacco and 19 percent currently use combustible tobacco products. Veterans are also more likely than civilians to use multiple tobacco products, which increases health risks. The study is the first analysis of tobacco use by Veteran status to consider product type since 2015.
