LGBT adults more likely to use tobacco

LGBT adults are considerably more likely to use tobacco products than are heterosexual adults, according to a Centers for Disease Control and Prevention report published June 24.

In 2012-2013, the prevalence of "every day" or "some day" use of any tobacco product among lesbian, gay, bisexual, or transgender adults was 30.8%, compared with 20.5% for heterosexual adults. "Every day" or "some day" cigarette use was reported by 27.7% of LGBT adults and 17.3% of heterosexual adults, according to the CDC (MMWR 2014 June 24;63:1-6).

The data from the National Adult Tobacco Survey show that LGBT adults also were more likely to use cigars/cigarillos/filtered small cigarettes (3.0% vs. 1.9%) and electronic cigarettes (4.5% vs. 1.9%), while heterosexual adults were more likely to use smokeless tobacco (2.6% vs. 1.9%), according to the CDC report.
