Introduction: Heated tobacco products, sometimes marketed as "heat-not-burn" technology, represent a diverse class of products that heat leaf tobacco to produce an inhaled aerosol. Global sales of heated tobacco products are increasing; however, the extent of current heated tobacco product awareness and use in the U.S. is unknown. This study assessed awareness and ever use of heated tobacco products among U.S. adults.Methods: Data were obtained from the 2017 SummerStyles, an Internet survey of U.S. adults aged >= 18 years (N=4,107). Respondents were given a description of heated tobacco products, then asked about awareness and ever use. In 2017, descriptive statistics were calculated overall and by sex, age, race/ethnicity, and cigarette smoking status. Logistic regression was used to calculate AORs.Results: In 2017, a total of 5.2% of U.S. adults were aware of heated tobacco products, including 9.9% of current cigarette smokers. Overall, 0.7% of U.S. adults, including 2.7% of current smokers, reported ever use of heated tobacco products. Odds of ever use were higher among current smokers (AOR=6.18) than never smokers, and higher among adults aged = 30 years.Conclusions: As of July 2017, few U.S. adults had ever used heated tobacco products; however, about one in 20 were aware of the products, including one in ten cigarette smokers. The uncertain impact of heated tobacco products on individual- and population-level health warrants timely and accurate public health surveillance. These first estimates among U.S. adults can serve as a key baseline measure. Published by Elsevier Inc. on behalf of American Journal of Preventive Medicine
