However, previous studies primarily focussed on cigarette smoking and did not include all forms of tobacco products. This study aimed to investigate the prevalence and disparities in receiving HCP\u2019s advice to quit tobacco use (combustible or noncombustible) in the US adult population.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title><jats:p>Using the 2022 National Health Information Survey (NHIS) data, we examined 4,424 adults who reported (i) any tobacco product use within the past 12\u2009months and (ii) having seen an HCP within the past 12\u2009months. The outcome variable included the receipt of advice to quit tobacco use from an HCP, and predictors included sociodemographic variables. Weighted prevalence estimates were calculated, and multivariable regression analyses were conducted.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>Over 38% of tobacco users who visited an HCP were advised to quit. The odds of receiving such advice were lower among Hispanics (AOR: 0.625; 95% confidence interval (CI) [0.464\u20130.843];<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20090.002), males (AOR: 0.767; 95% CI [0.659\u20130.893], <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20090.001), those above the poverty level (AOR: 0.795; 95% CI [0.641\u20130.987];<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20090.037), foreign-born (AOR: 0.664; 95% CI [0.496\u20130.888]; <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20090.006), those with a bachelor\u2019s degree or higher educational level (AOR: 0.477; 95% CI [0.349\u20130.653]; <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic> &amp;lt; 0.001) and those aged less than 45\u2009years (AOR: 0.404; 95% CI: [0.344\u20130.473]; <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009&amp;lt;\u20090.001).<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title><jats:p>The prevalence of receiving HCP\u2019s advice to quit tobacco use remains suboptimal and disparate among sociodemographic groups.
