Objective: To examine the relationship between demographics, other tobacco use, and JUUL dependency on combustible cigarette use among college JUUL users. Participants: Undergraduates (n = 595) at a large southwestern university who used JUUL weekly completed a cross-sectional online survey in March 2019. Methods: Logistic regressions examined associations between covariates and ever use/past 30-day use of cigarettes. Results: As age increased, odds of ever trying a cigarette increased (AOR = 1.87; 95% CI = 1.45-2.41); however, as age of JUUL initiation increased, odds of ever (AOR = 0.80; 95% CI = 0.65-0.99) or past 30-day (AOR = 0.78; 95% CI = 0.63-0.97) cigarette use decreased. Those moderately (AOR = 2.03; 95% CI = 1.07-3.82) or highly (AOR = 8.01; 95% CI = 3.08-20.83) dependent on JUUL were more likely to have tried cigarettes than those not dependent. However, dependence was not associated with past 30-day use. Conclusions: JUUL users may not transition to combustible cigarettes during college. Longitudinal studies are needed to examine transitions in JUUL users' tobacco product use after college.
