Combustible and Smokeless Tobacco Use among High School Athletes — US, 2001–2013
CDC released a study that uses data from the 2001–2013 National Youth Risk Behavior Surveys to better understand the prevalence of combustible and smokeless tobacco use among high school athletes. Results show that current use of any tobacco product significantly declined for all students from 2001 to 2013. Current smokeless tobacco use significantly increased among athletes and did not change among non-athletes. In 2013, compared with non-athletes, athletes had significantly higher odds of being current smokeless tobacco users but significantly lower odds of being current combustible tobacco users.
