description Introduction Combustible cigarette (CC) smoking is a risk factor for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and asthma, and some studies reported that tobacco smoking might affect the development or symptom control of allergic rhinitis, sinusitis, and atopic dermatitis. However, evidence on the health risks of heated tobacco products (HTPs) is lacking. We investigated the prevalence of respiratory and allergic diseases according to tobacco use types in Korean adults. Methods We used data from 18230 adults in the Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey. Multiple logistic regression analyses were performed to assess the prevalence of respiratory and allergic diseases according to tobacco use types (current exclusive CC use, current exclusive HTPs use, and dual use of CC and HTPs). Results The prevalence of exclusive CC users, exclusive HTPs users, dual users of CC and HTPs was 15% (n=2740), 1% (n=182), and 2.4% (n=435), respectively. The prevalence of COPD was higher among past tobacco users (AOR=2.37; 95% CI: 1.02–5.51) versus no tobacco use group. The prevalence of asthma was higher among past tobacco users or exclusive CC users (AOR=1.73; 95% CI: 1.26–2.38, and AOR=1.57; 95% CI: 1.08–2.26) versus non-users of tobacco. The prevalence of allergic rhinitis was higher among past tobacco users versus non-users of tobacco (AOR=1.33; 95% CI: 1.13–1.57), and the prevalence of allergic rhinitis was higher among exclusive HTPs users versus non-users of tobacco or exclusive CC users (AOR=1.60; 95% CI: 1.06–2.42, and AOR=1.74; 95% CI: 1.14–2.66). The adjusted odds of sinusitis and atopic dermatitis were not significantly different between tobacco use types. Conclusions Exclusive use of HTPs was associated with allergic rhinitis in Korean adults. Further longitudinal studies are needed to clarify the health risk of HTPs.
