By gender, the flavored tobacco usage rate stood at 75.9 percent for men and 78.4 percent for women.
Sixty-seven percent of those who had smoking experience said that flavored tobacco exerted influence on their first try.
The primary reason given for using flavored tobacco products was ‘taste.’
Those who started smoking with flavored cigarettes were 1.4 times more likely to continue smoking than others those who started with non-flavored tobacco.
The probability that they would continue smoking with flavored tobacco was 10.9 times higher.
