Abstract

In this study, we assessed tobacco product use among US womenaged 18 years or older using data from the 2018–2019 TobaccoUse Supplement to the Current Population Survey. State-specificcurrent use of any tobacco product (cigarettes, e-cigarettes, cigars,regular pipes, water pipes or hookah, and smokeless tobacco)ranged from 6.6% (California) to 23.1% (West Virginia); currentuse of 2 or more tobacco products ranged from 0.6% (New York)to 3.0% (Oklahoma). Current tobacco product use among US women differed significantly by age, education, race/ethnicity, household income, marital status, disability status, and US region. Comprehensive tobacco control strategies, including targeted interventions, can reduce tobacco use among all women.
