Quitting all tobacco use (ie, no smoking, vaping, or any tobacco use) was uncommon for both groups (3.6% vs. 9.0%). Under a hypothetical ban, majorities of those who exclusively smoke and who dual use predicted they would continue smoking (72.2% vs. 71.8%); fewer who smoke exclusively would use e-cigarettes compared to those who dual use (14.7% vs. 41.4%).

Those who smoked exclusively were far less likely to respond by switching to e-cigarettes compared to people who dual used both products. Under a hypothetical federal menthol cigarette ban, 72% of young adults predicted that they would continue smoking. Quitting all tobacco was less common in the real-world scenario compared to the hypothetical ban. Access to menthol cigarettes in other jurisdictions and flavored cigars likely dampen the public health benefit of menthol cigarette bans.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1093\/ntr\/ntad259","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,12,26]],"date-time":"2023-12-26T15:11:02Z","timestamp":1703603462000},"page":"785-789","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":6,"title":["Responses to Real-World and Hypothetical Menthol Flavor Bans Among US Young Adults Who Smoke Menthol Cigarettes"],"prefix":"10.1093","volume":"26","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-8353-4259","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jamie","family":"Tam","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Health Policy and Management, Yale School of Public Health , New Haven, CT , USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Evelyn","family":"Jimenez-Mendoza","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Epidemiology, University of Michigan School of Public Health , Ann Arbor, MI , USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-4157-4217","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"John","family":"Buckell","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Nuffield Department of Population Health, Health Economics Research Centre, University of Oxford , Oxford , UK"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1741-5451","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jody","family":"Sindelar","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Health Policy and Management, Yale School of Public Health , New Haven, CT , USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1076-5037","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Rafael","family":"Meza","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Integrative Oncology, BC Cancer Research Institute, BC Cancer Research Institute , Vancouver, British Columbia , Canada"},{"name":"School of Population and Public Health, University of British Columbia , Vancouver, British Columbia , Canada"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"286","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,12,26]]},"reference":[{"key":"2024052206024574300_CIT0001","author":"U.S. Food & Drug Administration","year":"2021"},{"issue":"10","key":"2024052206024574300_CIT0002","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"e2019365","DOI":"10.1001\/jamanetworkopen.2020.19365","article-title":"Young adults as a tobacco control priority population in the US","volume":"3","author":"Ganz","year":"2020","journal-title":"JAMA Netw Open"},{"key":"2024052206024574300_CIT0003","author":"Campaign for Tobacco-Free Kids","year":"2022"},{"key":"2024052206024574300_CIT0004","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"102676","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jhealeco.2022.102676","article-title":"The effects of e-cigarette taxes on e-cigarette prices and tobacco product sales: evidence from retail panel data","volume":"86","author":"Cotti","year":"2022","journal-title":"J Health Econ"},{"issue":"2","key":"2024052206024574300_CIT0005","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"168","DOI":"10.1136\/tobaccocontrol-2017-054165","article-title":"Should flavours be banned in cigarettes and e-cigarettes?
