The study included 47,163 adult participants who self-reported social\/emotional support, life satisfaction, and smoking\/vaping status in the 2016 and 2017 BRFSS national survey data. We used multivariable weighted logistic regression models to measure the cross-sectional association of self-reported social\/emotional support and life satisfaction with smoking\/vaping status. Compared to never users, dual users and exclusive smokers were more likely to have low life satisfaction, with an adjusted odds ratio (aOR) = 1.770 (95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.135, 2.760) and an aOR = 1.452 (95% CI: 1.121, 1.880) respectively, especially for the age group 18\u201334. Exclusive cigarette smokers were more likely to have low life satisfaction compared to ex-smokers (aOR = 1.416, 95% CI: 1.095, 1.831). Exclusive cigarette smokers were more likely to have low social\/emotional support (aOR = 1.193, 95% CI: 1.030, 1.381) than never users, especially those aged 65 and above. In addition, exclusive cigarette smokers were more likely to have low social\/emotional support than ex-smokers, with an aOR = 1.279 (95% CI: 1.097, 1.492), which is more pronounced among the age group 18\u201334, as well as 65 and above. Our results suggest that life satisfaction and social\/emotional support may play important roles in smoking and vaping, which should be incorporated into behavioral interventions to reduce tobacco use.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/ijerph191710722","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,8,29]],"date-time":"2022-08-29T01:39:19Z","timestamp":1661737159000},"page":"10722","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":12,"title":["Cross-Sectional Associations of Self-Reported Social\/Emotional Support and Life Satisfaction with Smoking and Vaping Status in Adults"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"19","author":[{"given":"Zidian","family":"Xie","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Clinical and Translational Research, University of Rochester Medical Center, Rochester, NY 14642, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-8069-1750","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Francisco","family":"Cartujano-Barrera","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Public Health Sciences and Cancer Center, University of Rochester Medical Center, Rochester, NY 14642, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-7594-969X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Paula","family":"Cupertino","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Public Health Sciences and Cancer Center, University of Rochester Medical Center, Rochester, NY 14642, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9140-2483","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Dongmei","family":"Li","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Clinical and Translational Research, University of Rochester Medical Center, Rochester, NY 14642, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,8,28]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","unstructured":"(2022, August 11).
