Background and aimsThe US Family Smoking Prevention and Tobacco Control Act provides a pathway for manufacturers to market a modified risk tobacco product (MRTP). This study examines socio-demographic and tobacco use correlates of interest in a hypothetical MRTP in a nationally representative sample of US adults.
DesignCross sectional wave 1 data from the 2013-14 Population Assessment of Tobacco and Health (PATH) Study.
SettingHousehold Audio-Computer Assisted Self-Interviews of US adults conducted in 2013-14.
ParticipantsA total of 32320 civilian, non-institutionalized adults in the United States.
MeasurementsInterest in using a hypothetical MRTP (If a tobacco product made a claim that it was less harmful to health than other tobacco products, how likely would you be to use that product?'), socio-demographics, tobacco use history and mental health and substance use problems. All estimates were weighted.
FindingsOverall, 16.7% [95% confidence interval (CI)=16.28, 17.18] of US adults reported interest in a hypothetical MRTP. Tobacco use was associated significantly with interest in a hypothetical MRTP, with interest most common among current established smokers (54.4%; 95% CI=53.31, 55.39) and least common among never tobacco users (3.0%; 95% CI=2.49, 3.55). Interest in a hypothetical MRTP was associated with experimental e-cigarette use among current experimental, current established and former smokers. Among non-smokers, race, age, education and substance use were associated with interest in using a hypothetical MRTP.
ConclusionsAmong adults in the United States, interest in using a hypothetical modified risk tobacco product is low overall, and highest among current experimental and established smokers. A small percentage of non-smokers are interested in using a hypothetical hypothetical modified risk tobacco product.
