Cannabis + Tobacco Use on the Rise, Especially Among Older Adults!

View descriptionShare

The number of Americans using both cannabis and tobacco is increasing, with a particular surge among older adults, a new study finds. Researchers at Duke University School of Medicine who analyzed two decades of national data warn that the combination poses greater health risks than the dangers of using either substance alone. In 2021, 6.38% of U.S. adults reported using both cannabis and tobacco within the past month. While this might seem like a relatively small percentage, it’s a big jump from previous years. Researchers attribute the trend to more states legalizing marijuana, and people becoming more accepting of and comfortable with cannabis. When looking at the 2021 data, younger individuals, people with lower educational attainment and residing in a state with a medical marijuana law, were most likely to report co-use,” said lead study author Dana Rubenstein, a fourth-year medical student at the Duke University School of Medicine and translational science researcher. Trends in cannabis and tobacco co-use prevalence have not been examined in many years while regulatory policy has been changing quite a bit.
