Resum:	The aim of this study was to estimate the prevalence of tobacco and cannabis use, and their relationship, in a cohort of adolescents from Central Catalonia in the period 2012-2020. The study had a prospective longitudinal design with 828 students in the 4th year of Compulsory Secondary Education. In 2012, 828 adolescents answered a health behaviour survey; in 2016, 342; and in 2020, 265. The dependent variables were: exclusive last month tobacco use; exclusive last month cannabis use; polydrug use of tobacco and cannabis; and no use of tobacco and cannabis in the last month. Independent variables were sex and follow-up year. For the analysis, prevalences were used with a significance level of 0. 05. Polydrug use went from 11. 5% (95% CI: 7. 4-17. 6) among girls and 8. 2% (95% CI: 4. 3-15. 2) among boys in 2012, to 7. 0% (95% CI: 3. 9-12. 3) among girls and 13. 7% (95% CI: 8. 4-21. 7) among boys in 2020. With regards to those girls who used polydrug in the last month in 2012, 33. 3% (14. 8-58. 9) continued using it in 2016, and 22. 2% (7. 9-48. 6) continued in 2020; among boys, 33. 3% (14. 8-58. 9) of those polydrug users in 2012 continued using it in 2016, and 44. 4% (14. 5-79. 0) continued in 2020. There is association between tobacco and cannabis use, and there is an important percentage of young people who do polydrug consumption at very early ages.
