Other Tobacco Use by Age

In 2010, use of other tobacco products varied significantly by age group (28-31) (Figure 4.5). Youth and young adults between ages 15 and 24 reported the highest prevalence of use of other tobacco products, particularly cigars and cigarillos. After young adulthood, prevalence of use appears to decrease with age for all products (Figure 4.5).

This pattern of high use among the younger age groups, declining with increasing age, applies to cigar/cigarillo use in almost all years (where data is available) between 1999 and 2010 (Figure 4.6). In addition, the difference in prevalence between younger and older age groups appears to have grown over time, especially for the 20-24 age group; however, this gap seems to have decreased in the last year. Use of cigars/cigarillos appears to have increased over time in all groups until 2008, after which rates of use appear to be decreasing.
