In the recent years, it has been observed that the use of hookah, a tobacco product, has increased in children and young people in Turkey. This study was conducted to determine the prevalence of cigarette and hookah use in children and young people specific to age and gender and to define the factors relevant to the use of hookah.
The study was conducted with secondary/high school students between 11 and 17 years of age (Survey 1, n=4718) and with university students between 18 and 23 years of age (Survey 2, n=1588) as two groups, which made a total of 6306 students. The students were asked to fill in a questionnaire which consisted of questions about socio-demographic data and the use of tobacco and tobacco products.
It was determined that the use of cigarette and hookah was high in males, and it increased as the age increased in both genders (p<0.05). It was also determined that parents and friends using cigarette and hookah affected the use of cigarette and hookah in the study groups in both surveys (p<0.05). Additionally, it was determined that the educational level of the parents and being of a high social class were the social determiners of hookah use (p<0.05).
It is important that we fight against the use of all tobacco products, especially in young people. Education about the damages of tobacco and applying tobacco products should start at an early age, and accurate tobacco control models may provide support in this field.
近年来，人们观察到水烟这种烟草制品在土耳其儿童和年轻人中的使用有所增加。本研究旨在确定特定年龄和性别的儿童及年轻人中香烟和水烟的使用 prevalence，并确定与水烟使用相关的因素。
该研究以两组学生为对象，一组是11至17岁的中学生（调查1，n = 4718），另一组是18至23岁的大学生（调查2，n = 1588），共计6306名学生。要求学生填写一份问卷，问卷包含有关社会人口统计学数据以及烟草和烟草制品使用情况的问题。
确定香烟和水烟在男性中的使用率较高，且在两性中均随年龄增长而增加（p<0.05）。还确定在两项调查的研究组中，父母和朋友使用香烟和水烟会影响香烟和水烟的使用（p<0.05）。此外，确定父母的教育水平和高社会阶层是水烟使用的社会决定因素（p<0.05）。
我们反对所有烟草制品的使用非常重要，尤其是在年轻人中。关于烟草危害和烟草制品使用的教育应从小开始，准确的烟草控制模式可能会在这一领域提供支持。
