This study examines the prevalence of and factors associated with "hardcore" use of smoked and smokeless tobacco (SLT) products in Bangladesh and the variation in the ages people started using them daily. Data from the 2009 and 2017 rounds of the Global Adult Tobacco Survey for Bangladesh were analyzed using multilevel logistic regression. The prevalence of "hardcore" use of smoked tobacco among current smokers decreased from 15.5% in 2009 to 13.1% in 2017. Almost all hardcore smokers were male in both rounds. Among the current users of SLT, 7.0% were "hardcore" users in 2009, with a higher proportion of females (8.9%) than males (4.8%) and these percentages remained similar in 2017. The current smokers in the age-group 25-64 and the current SLT users in the age-group 45-65+ were more likely than their counterparts to be "hardcore" users. The earlier the participants started using daily, the more likely they were to become "hardcore" users. There was regional variation in the prevalence of "hardcore" use. Coordinated preventive interventions and comprehensive treatment programmes and their equitable geographical distribution are needed
