Teenagers using both tobacco and cannabis face higher mental health risks

A study in JAMA Network Open explored mental health issues among American teenagers using tobacco and cannabis concurrently. Data showed a significant association between substance use and internalizing and externalizing problems, particularly in concurrent users. The study highlighted the prevalence of these behaviors and emphasized the importance of comprehensive interventions addressing substance use and mental health concerns in youth, especially in light of the COVID-19 pandemic. More research is needed to understand the impact of these habits, as rates of concurrent use are increasing.
