Protocol - Self-reported Tobacco Product Purchase Location - Cigars

Add to My Toolkit
Description

This protocol includes questions from the Wave 1 Adult Population Assessment of Tobacco and Health (PATH) Survey instrument. These specific questions are used to measure the purchase location of cigars.

Specific Instructions

To answer these questions, investigators will need to determine whether or not the respondent is a current cigar or blunt-only cigar smoker. To do so, the Working Group is recommending that investigators add the Use of Tobacco Products Toolkit measure.

[CIGARFILL] = traditional cigars, cigarillos, and filtered cigars.

Traditional cigars contain tightly rolled tobacco that is wrapped in a tobacco leaf. Some common brands of cigars include Macanudo®, Romeo y Julieta®, and Arturo Fuente®, but there are many others. Cigarillos and filtered cigars are smaller than traditional cigars. They are usually brown. Some are the same size as cigarettes, and some come with plastic or wood tips. Some common brands are Black & Mild®, Swisher Sweets®, Dutch Masters®, Phillies Blunts®, Prime Time®, and Winchester®.

Selection Rationale

The Population Assessment of Tobacco and Health (PATH) Study is a nationally representative, in-person longitudinal cohort study of nonusers and users of tobacco products and those at risk for tobacco use across the United States. Respondents 12 years old and up are asked questions on tobacco use, attitudes, and health, and biospecimens (buccal cell, urine, and blood) are collected from adults. The PATH Study was implemented to provide an evidence base for assessing and monitoring the Food and Drug Administration’s regulatory actions in meeting its mandate under the Family Smoking Prevention and Tobacco Control Act. Regulatory domains include product standards, new and modified risk products, health warnings, and health education campaigns.
