abstract="The relationships between multiple tobacco products, such as heated tobacco products (HTPs), electronic cigarettes (ECs), and combustible cigarettes (CCs), and  suicide-related behaviors among adolescents have not been extensively researched. This study examined the associations between the type of tobacco products used and  suicidal thoughts, plans, and attempts among Korean adolescents. Data from the 2019  Korea Youth Risk Behavior Web-Based Survey were analyzed, and participants included  57,069 individuals aged 13-18 years. A multivariable logistic regression analysis  was performed. Of the total participants, 13.0%, 4.0%, and 2.9% reported suicidal  thoughts, suicidal plans, and suicidal attempts, respectively. After adjusting for  confounding variables, all tobacco product users showed a greater likelihood of  having suicidal behavior. However, compared with never users, dual users of CCs and  HTPs were not significantly associated with having suicidal thoughts and attempts. Among tobacco product users, dual users of ECs and HTPs and triple users of CCs,  ECs, and HTPs showed a greater likelihood of having suicidal behavior. Considering  the prevalence of suicide and the increasing trend of using multiple tobacco  products among Korean adolescents, tobacco control policies should monitor the  effects of different products.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>",
