ObjectiveTo estimate the extent of overlap in susceptibilities across various tobacco products, investigate correlates with susceptibilities, and examine whether the relationship linking susceptibility with the onset of use is product specific or is accounted for by a general susceptibility-onset relationship. DesignProspective cohort study. SettingAnalysis of data from the longitudinal Population Assessment of Tobacco and Health study wave 4 (December 2016 to January 2018) and wave 4.5 youth surveys (December 2017 to November 2018). ParticipantsA nationally representative sample of non-institutionalized youth 12-17 years old who had never used a tobacco product at baseline assessment. Main variable of interestSusceptibility to the use of each type of tobacco product assessed at wave 4. Main outcomesOnset of use of various tobacco products defined as the first use occurring between waves 4 and 4.5 assessments. ResultsCigarettes and e-cigarettes were the most common ([~]25%), while snus was the least common (
