Waterpipe smoking is gaining popularity among the youth in Poland and is evaluated for the first time in this work. The authors address the social and demographic factors that motivate young people to smoke and attempt to determine which of them contribute to habit formation.
The data were collected among school and university students in Poland during a global survey on various forms of tobacco use. Multivariable regression models were applied for odds-ratio evaluation. The data concern waterpipe and cigarette smoking habits.
The survey was completed by 19,097 respondents. The survey included 144 schools and 32 universities from 16 voivodeships in Poland. Respondent gender exhibited the highest ORs (95% Cl), both in the case of current and ever WP users: 2.11 (2.10-2.12) and 2.16 (2.15-2.17), respectively. The other important factor was a place of living: 1.83 (1.82-1.84) and 2.17 (2.16-2.18), respectively. All ORs were statistically significant for = 0.05.
The prevalence of tobacco smoking among Polish youths is high. Waterpipe tobacco smoking was found to be the second most popular habit after cigarette smoking. Moreover, young smokers use other non-tobacco products in waterpipes, and drink alcohol during smoking sessions. Many young people try waterpipe smoking without previous experience with cigarettes.
水烟吸食在波兰年轻人中越来越流行，本研究首次对其进行评估。作者探讨了促使年轻人吸烟的社会和人口因素，并试图确定其中哪些因素有助于吸烟习惯的形成。
在一项关于各种烟草使用形式的全球调查中，收集了波兰中小学和大学生的数据。应用多变量回归模型进行比值比评估。数据涉及水烟和香烟的吸烟习惯。
19097名受访者完成了调查。调查涵盖了波兰16个省的144所中小学和32所大学。无论是当前水烟使用者还是曾经的水烟使用者，受访者的性别都呈现出最高的比值比（95%置信区间）：分别为2.11（2.10 - 2.12）和2.16（2.15 - 2.17）。另一个重要因素是居住地点：分别为1.83（1.82 - 1.84）和2.17（2.16 - 2.18）。所有比值比在α = 0.05时均具有统计学意义。
波兰青少年吸烟率很高。水烟吸食被发现是仅次于香烟吸食的第二大流行习惯。此外，年轻吸烟者在水烟中使用其他非烟草制品，并在吸烟过程中饮酒。许多年轻人在没有吸过香烟的情况下就尝试水烟吸食。
