Abstract: The article presents a study of flavored tobacco use among U.S. youth using data from the Population Assessment of Tobacco and Health (PATH) Study and longitudinal cohort analysis of adults and youths in the country. Results confirmed the widespread appeal of flavored products among youth tobacco users, suggesting the need to consider efforts to reduce the use of flavored tobacco products among youth in addition to proven tobacco control and prevention initiatives.
