Abstract

Few studies have examined the use of multiple tobacco products among adolescents with asthma. The purpose of this study was to examine multiple tobacco product use and smoking behaviors. In this study, data from the Korea Youth Risk Behavior Web-based Survey (KYRBWS) were used, and 57,303 samples from 400 middle schools and 400 high schools in Korea were classified as study participants. Statistical analysis was performed with a complex sample design, using frequency analysis, chi-square test, and multiple logistic regression analysis. Adolescents with asthma had a higher current smoking rate for combustible cigarettes (CC), e-cigarettes (EC), and heated tobacco products (HTPs) than those without asthma ( p < 0.001). The rates of dual use (using two types of tobacco; CC + EC or CC + HTPs or EC + HTPs; OR = 2.62, 95% CI: 1.626–4.240, R 2 = 26.8%) and triple use (using three types of tobacco; CC + EC + HTPs; OR = 2.61, 95% CI: 1.678–4.065, R 2 = 34.9%) were higher in adolescents with asthma than those without asthma, after adjusting for confounders. The smoking rate of new types of tobacco among adolescents with asthma is on the rise. Therefore, the calculation of basic data related to new tobacco smoking among adolescents is essential for establishing a continuous monitoring system to alleviate the burden of disease on national health.
