Gay and bi-sexual men were also more likely than straight men to use cigarettes (23.8% vs 17.3%), as were LGB women compared to straight women (17.9% vs 13.5%). Overall, more lesbian, gay or bisexual adults smoked cigarettes (20.5%) compared to heterosexual adults (15.3%) in 2016. TOBACCO USE HIGHER IN ADULT SEXUAL MINORITIES Trends were similar with boys - compared to heterosexual boys, odds of heavy use were generally higher among gay and bisexual boys between 20, with the exception of 2015 for gay boys and 2009 for bisexual boys. LGB girls also had higher odds of heavy use compared to heterosexual girls from 2011-2015. For bisexuals, the odds increased from 4.9X in 2005 to 6.2X to 2015. Compared to heterosexuals, the odds of lesbians heavily using cigarettes increased from 3.3X in 2005 to 3.7X in 2015. For LGB girls in grades 9-12, sexual identity disparities in heavy cigarette use - using tobacco more than 20 days out of the past 30 - remained high from 2005 to 2015.
