We examined the prevalence and correlates of anticipated responses to hypothetical cigar price increases. Data are from a 2021 representative sample of U.S. adults who reported past-30-day cigar use (n = 454; mean age = 39.8 years). Weighted multivariable logistic regressions assessed the correlates of behavior change responses. If cigar price increased, 77.2% intend to pay more, 44.7% intend to reduce use, and 39.9%, 37.7%, and 17.1% intend to use other tobacco, cannabis, and cheaper cigars, respectively. Those who smoked cigarillos (vs. other cigars) had higher odds of intending to pay more (adjusted odds ratio [AOR] = 2.73; 95% confidence interval [CI] = [1.41, 5.29]) and use other tobacco (AOR = 2.35; 95%CI = [1.26, 4.36]). Those who smoked within 5 min of waking (vs. > 60 min) had higher odds of intending to use cheaper cigars (AOR = 5.19, 95%CI = [1.38, 19.46]). Almost half of U.S. adults who report past-30-day cigar use may reduce cigar smoking in response to price increases, though behavioral response may depend on cigar type smoked and tobacco dependence.
