Students with disabilities were more likely to use a variety of tobacco products compared to their non-disabled peers, including cigarettes (12.3% vs. 5.4%), little cigars (7.0% vs. 5.4%), hookahs (6.2% vs. 3.8%), and e-cigarettes (18.3% vs. 12.3%). In adjusted models, students with a disability were more likely to report using combustibles only, e-cigarettes only, or dual use of both, compared to youth without disability.
