RESULTS
The prevalence of tobacco consumption among children was 37.2%. Fifty-one percent of the tobacco users consumed kharra (a mixture of tobacco, lime, areca nut). Forty percent of the tobacco users began using tobacco after the age of 10 years. For 65% of the individuals' tobacco products were easily accessible.

背景
在印度，烟草有多种消费形式。农村人口首当其冲受到无烟烟草制品的影响。这会导致多种并发症。更有甚者，在农村人口中，这种习惯在非常年幼时就开始养成。
目的
确定青少年中烟草制品的消费流行率，同时评估其心理动机因素。
材料与方法
对2000名修行学校的学生进行抽样调查，发放详细问卷，其中包括关于可获得性、喜好、动机来源以及对健康危害的担忧等问题。
统计分析
使用社会科学统计软件包（SPSS 22版，纽约州阿蒙克：IBM公司）进行统计分析。根据数据性质，进行描述性统计以评估烟草消费流行率及其相关动机因素。
结果
儿童中烟草消费流行率为37.2%。百分之五十一的烟草使用者消费喀拉（一种烟草、石灰、槟榔的混合物）。百分之四十的烟草使用者在10岁以后开始使用烟草。对于65%的人来说，烟草制品很容易获得。
结论
根据该研究结果，可以得出结论，农村地区烟草制品易于获得是儿童养成这种有害习惯的原因。
