The vast majority of study participants (93.25%) incorrectly believed that nicotine causes cancer and that cigarettes with lower levels of nicotine were less harmful to a person\u2019s health than regular cigarettes (69.87%). Experiencing elevated symptoms of depression, and having lower income were associated with more inaccurate perceptions about tobacco-related harms and addiction potential.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Direct messaging is needed to inform transgender individuals that nicotine is not the primary chemical in cigarettes that causes cancer and that nicotine is the primary chemical responsible for addiction.
