在科罗拉多的“自然实验室”探索烟草、合法大麻和电子蒸发器在年轻人中的交叉使用，科罗拉多是第一个合法零售大麻的州。2015年，我们在科罗拉多丹佛对32名年轻人（18-26岁）进行了半结构化访谈，以了解与使用烟草，大麻和汽化器有关的信念和做法。我们发现，“吸烟”一词是指使用烟草还是大麻产品存在歧义。吸食大麻（抽空的雪茄或用大麻填充的烟草包装）很常见，但很少有人将其解释为烟草使用。Maritime vaporisers被用来规避公共消费法（例如，在工作或驾驶时）。年轻人认为二手烟草烟雾是危险的，但认为二手大麻烟雾是良性的。使用烟草制品作为大麻的传递方法（例如，钝头）可能会增加年轻人的烟草使用并使其正常化。监督应明确询问有关使用烟草制品大麻。大麻汽化器，通常与尼古丁汽化器难以区分，可能被用来规避公共消费法;关注在公共场所使用大麻的社区应将汽化器（用于尼古丁或大麻）纳入无烟法规。烟草、大麻和电子蒸发器应该一起研究，而不是单独研究。随着越来越多的美国州和世界各国将大麻合法化，这种方法在为研究和政策提供信息方面至关重要。
To explore the intersection of tobacco, legalised marijuana and electronic vaporiser use among young adults in the ‘natural laboratory’ of Colorado, the first state with legalised retail marijuana. We conducted semistructured interviews with 32 young adults (18–26 years old) in Denver, Colorado, in 2015 to understand the beliefs and practices related to the use of tobacco, marijuana and vaporisers. We found ambiguity about whether the phrase ‘to smoke’ refers to the use of tobacco or marijuana products. Smoking marijuana blunts (emptied cigarillo or tobacco wrap filled with marijuana) was common, but few interpreted this as tobacco use. Marijuana vaporisers were used to circumvent public consumption laws (eg, while at work or when driving). Young adults considered secondhand tobacco smoke dangerous, but perceived secondhand marijuana smoke as benign. Using tobacco products as a delivery method for marijuana (eg, blunts) might be increasing and normalising tobacco use among young adults. Surveillance should explicitly ask about use of tobacco products for marijuana. Marijuana vaporisers, often indistinguishable from nicotine vaporisers, may be used to circumvent public consumption laws; communities concerned about use of marijuana in public spaces should include vaporisers (for nicotine or marijuana) in smoke-free regulations. Tobacco, marijuana and electronic vaporisers should be studied together, rather than separately. This approach is essential in informing research and policy as more US states and countries worldwide move to legalise marijuana.
