• Description:
  Nicotine and tobacco use disproportionally affects sexual and gender minority (SGM) populations in the United States. Social media narratives may contribute to these disparities. This qualitative study delineated perceptions and experiences depicted in SGM-related videos about nicotine vaping on TikTok. Young adult researchers engaged in every step of the research process, adding an insider perspective. Using four TikTok accounts, we used vaping and SGM-related search terms to sample videos in March-April 2022. Three TikTok accounts collected SGM-specific videos; a fourth provided non-SGM specific videos for comparison. We iteratively sorted 303 unique videos into 32
  
  and emergent codes and identified themes in SGM videos and comparison videos. In their videos, creators displayed awareness of and ambivalence toward vaping and nicotine dependence. SGM videos reflected vaping as a salient feature of identity and a consideration in romantic partnership. Studying video-based social media platforms, like TikTok, using an insider-engaged qualitative lens promotes rich interpretation of content to identify prevalent and emerging messages, which can inform appropriate interventions for SGM young people.
