Description:

The tobacco industry markets their products toward emerging adults (18-29), with the goal of increasing use among this age group. To inform prevention efforts, researchers are investigating how specific demographic and psychological traits may predict tobacco initiation and continuation. Participants were 578 incoming university freshmen from the Appalachian region. Participants provided information on demographics, personality traits, impulsivity characteristics, lifetime use of cigarettes and electronic cigarettes (ECIGs), and current use of cigarettes, ECIGs, small cigars/cigarillos, large cigars, smokeless tobacco, and waterpipe. Latent class analysis identified tobacco-use classes and regressions identified psychological predictors of class membership. Participants were |, and |. Lower agreeableness and conscientiousness as well as higher extraversion and neuroticism were associated with being | or |. Lower impulsivity was associated with being |. Distinct types of emerging adults belong to each tobacco use class, suggesting that individual differences be incorporated in prevention efforts.
