Trends and Patterns of Addictive Substance Use among Adolescent Cannabis Users with No History of Cigarette Smoking, 1976–2020

Year: 2024

Type: article

Abstract: Adolescents who have tried cannabis face a markedly higher likelihood of engaging in strongly habit-forming substances, including cocaine, heroin, and improper use of prescription medications. It remains unclear if this heightened likelihood extends to teenage cannabis users who have never used traditional cigarettes, a subgroup that has expanded significantly in recent times. This research tracks the recent expansion in the share of teenage cannabis users who avoid traditional cigarette smoking
