(CNN) - A new study finds smoking cigarettes and daily use of cannabis are strongly linked in the U.S.
According to the study, recently published in the American Journal of Public Health, smokers are seven times more likely to use pot daily than non-smokers.
This relationship was found to be especially strong among young people between the ages of 12 and 17.
Nearly a third of traditional cigarette smokers in that age group said they also used cannabis evert day.
In fact, young smokers were more than 50 times more likely to use cannabis daily than their non-smoking peers.
