To gain an understanding of the psychosocial and environmental influences on waterpipe smoking among college students. Participants were 49 university students who were regular waterpipe smokers.
A series of in-depth, in-person, semi-structured qualitative interviews were conducted.
It was a common belief that wa- ter in the waterpipe absorbed all the "impurities" in the tobacco and that it was safer and less addictive than smoking cigarettes. Main reasons for waterpipe smoking were social acceptance, peer influence, socializing with friends, perception of looking "cool" and physiological effects commonly referred to as "buzz."
Interventions focusing on changing the perceptions of college students regarding health hazards associated with waterpipe smoking should be developed.
了解心理社会和环境因素对大学生吸食水烟的影响。研究对象为49名经常吸食水烟的大学生。
进行了一系列深入的、面对面的、半结构化的定性访谈。
人们普遍认为水烟中的水会吸收烟草中的所有“杂质”，并且吸食水烟比吸烟更安全、上瘾性更低。吸食水烟的主要原因包括社会接受度、同伴影响、与朋友社交、觉得看起来“很酷”以及通常所说的“兴奋”等生理效应。
应制定干预措施，以改变大学生对与吸食水烟相关的健康危害的认知。
