Disparities in Poly-Tobacco Use Among United States Adults in the All of Us Research Program.
Article in Addictive behaviors, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
introductionAlthough overall tobacco use has declined in the United States (U.S.), poly-tobacco use remains a concern due to increased risk of toxicant exposure and addiction potential, with disparities across sociodemographic groups. This study examined the prevalence of tobacco use patterns among different sociodemographic groups in U.S. adults.
methodsWe analyzed data from 480,608 U.S. adults (aged ≥18) in the All of Us Research Program. Tobacco use was classified as single-tobacco product (any 1 product), dual-tobacco (any 2 products), or poly-tobacco (any 3+ products) use. Sociodemographic characteristics included age, gender, sexual orientation, race and ethnicity, nativity, educational attainment, homeownership, and employment status. Prevalence estimates and multinomial logistic regression were used to identify associations.
resultsOverall, 14.1%, 3.9% and 1.2% of participants reported single-tobacco product, dual-tobacco, and poly-tobacco use, respectively. Among participants reporting current use, the corresponding proportions were 73.4%, 20.5% and 6.1%. Younger adults, males, non-Hispanic Middle Eastern or North African adults, bisexual adults, adults with low education, non-homeowners, and unemployed adults had higher odds of dual- and poly-tobacco use vs. current non-use and compared to their respective reference groups. Specifically, participants with less than a 12th grade education (vs. advanced degrees) had more than ten times the odds (95% CI: 8.78, 11.95) of poly-tobacco use vs. current non-use. Homemaker individuals had higher odds of dual-tobacco use vs. current non-use.
conclusionSociodemographic correlates of multiple tobacco product use patterns highlight persistent disparities, particularly among underrepresented groups. Findings underscore the need for more inclusive surveillance and targeted interventions to reduce dual and poly-tobacco use.
