Joinpoint trend analysis of prevalence of combustible and non-combustible tobacco product use by adults in the United States, using cross-sectional data from NHIS 2015–2023
Key Points
Combustible tobacco use has significantly decreased, especially among young adults, while non-combustible tobacco use has risen.
The analysis reveals a notable decline in combustible tobacco use, with prevalence changes observed from 2015 to 2023.
Trend analysis was performed using cross-sectional data from the National Health Interview Survey (NHIS) covering several years.
These findings highlight shifting tobacco use patterns that may inform future public health strategies and interventions.
