The 2021 Sample Adult component included 29,482 participants with a response rate of 50.9%. We investigated COVID\u201019\u2010related outcomes by tobacco product use status and reported national estimates. Multivariable regression models were performed accounting for demographics (e.g., age, sex, poverty level), serious psychological distress, disability, and chronic health conditions.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>In our regression analyses, odds of self\u2010reported COVID\u201019 infection were significantly lower for combustible tobacco product users (vs. nonusers; adjusted odds ratio [AOR\u2009=\u20090.73; 95% confidence interval [CI]\u2009=\u20090.62\u20130.85]). Combustible tobacco users also were less likely to report ever testing for COVID\u201019 (AOR\u2009=\u20090.88; 95% CI\u2009=\u20090.79\u20130.98), ever testing positive for COVID\u201019 (AOR\u2009=\u20090.66; 95% CI\u2009=\u20090.56\u20130.77), and ever receiving COVID\u201019 vaccine (AOR\u2009=\u20090.58; 95% CI\u2009=\u20090.51\u20130.66) compared with their nonuser peers. Compared to nonusers, users of any type of tobacco who contracted COVID\u201019 had higher odds of losing smell (AOR\u2009=\u20091.36; 95%CI\u2009=\u20091.04\u20131.77), which was more pronounced among exclusive e\u2010cigarette users.
