To identify normal cigarette brands smoked among U.
S. middle and high school students who were current (past 30-day) cigarette smokers,CDC analyzed data from the 2012-2016 National Youth Tobacco Survey (NYTS). Marlboro, Newport, or Camel were the most commonly reported brands smoked during 2012-2016; in 2016,these three were the brands generally smoked for 73.1% and 78.7% of current cigarette smokers in middle and high school, respectively. These three brands also were the three most commonly identified as having a "favorite cigarette ad" in 2012. Efforts to reduce youth exposure to pro-tobacco advertising could help reduce youth smoking.
