  • An internet survey of US adults with a history of tobacco and/or cannabis use (N=387) found that  26% were unwilling to receive a COVID-19 vaccine while another 25% were unsure about willingness  to be vaccinated. Respondents who reported living with 5 or more other persons or by themselves,  living in a suburban or rural area, and those who were not stressed about the COVID-19 pandemic  were less likely to report being willing to receive a vaccine, while those who reported receiving an  influenza vaccine every year were more likely to be willing to receive a COVID-19 vaccine. The use of  cigarettes, e-cigarettes, cannabis, and heavy alcohol use were not associated with willingness to  receive a vaccine.
