Abstract in brief

  • The study highlights ongoing concerns about underage tobacco use, especially among individuals aged 13 to 20, with e-cigarettes being the most commonly used product.
  • Despite the federal law raising the legal purchase age to 21, awareness and use of tobacco products among underage groups did not show significant change from 2020 to 2022.
  • While a notable portion of young people are aware of novel oral nicotine products (NPs), actual use remains low, and awareness of products like heated tobacco and snus is minimal.]
