Between February 2023 and January 2024, we held seven virtual focus groups with 30 US youth (ages 14\u201320\u00a0years) who reported using both e-cigarettes and a combustible tobacco product in the past 30\u00a0days. Participants were shown five static tobacco prevention and cessation ads that addressed single and MTPs. Participants were asked about their reactions to the ads, including whether they were effective or relatable, and suggested changes to the ads. We performed a thematic analysis.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Participants were, on average, 18.7\u00a0years old. Most participants were female (73%), white (47%), and lesbian, gay, or bisexual (63%). Four central themes emerged: (1) Ads about MTPs were perceived as more effective than ads about single tobacco products because they were relevant and informative; (2) Participants recommended that MTP ads should specify \u201cvaping and smoking\u201d or \u201cnicotine\u201d to refer to MTPs rather than \u201ctobacco\u201d; (3) Participants described ads with youth vernacular as ineffective and unrelatable and exhibited message fatigue; and (4) Ads that featured shared health consequences of MTP use, especially with graphic, fear-arousing images, were perceived as most effective.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Findings suggest ads about MTPs could be effective among youth who use MTPs.

We conducted a qualitative study to examine how youth who use MTPs perceive tobacco prevention and cessation ads. Findings suggest ads about MTPs could be effective, especially if they specify \u201cvaping and smoking\u201d and highlight shared health effects of MTPs using graphic, fear-arousing
