Abstract Background The prevalence of smoking among adolescents is high in Indonesia. Therefore, this qualitative research aimed to explore the perspectives of Muslim adolescents on smoking habits as a reference for developing effective prevention programs. Methods Three focus group discussions involving 24 junior high school male students (mean age = 13.75 years) were the main source of data for this phenomenological qualitative study. The discussion guide was developed by the researchers based on the reviewed literature and validated by experts. The research findings were analyzed using an inductive content analysis with systematic steps based on the stages of qualitative data analysis. Results Adolescent perspectives on smoking were grouped into two themes: perception of smoking and smoking-related factors. The perception of smoking encompassed three sub-themes: smoking as a social habit, contradictive feelings, and the Islamic perspective. The smoking-related factors included peer pressure, the parents’ smoking status, masculinity and curiosity. The results indicated that adolescents consider smoking as a social habit but with contradictory feelings. The smoking habit was also stimulated by peer pressure, imitating parents who smoke, feeling masculine and curiosity. Conclusion We suggest that health professionals who are interested in developing smoking prevention programs in Indonesia should consider the adolescent perspective on smoking so that the prevention program will be more effective and appropriate for adolescents.

The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between peer and parental control factors and smoking behaviour of adolecents among junior high school students in Mataram. Observational study was used to collect data from 108 students aged 12 to 17 on their own smoking status and parental controls. The result showed secondary students who smoke are subjected to peer group pressures and they have fewer parental controls with regard to smoking. More pressures on smoking within the peer groups were associated with a greater likelihood of smoking behaviour (p>0.05; p=0.642). However, parental controls on smoking have also been found to have influence to decreasing the likelihood of smoking behaviour among 7th and 8th students (p>0.05; p=0.440).  In general, peers has stronger effects on initiation of adolecents smoking behavior than parental control influences. This findings suggest that more extensive controls on smoking at home may reduce adolecents smoking behaviour. Thus, smoking prevention for adolecents might be focused on social context such as, resisting to peer pressure and enhacing parental communication. Keywords: adolescent; smoking behavior; parental control; peer

Abstract Background Smoking rates in Serbian adults are among the highest in Europe. The objective of this study is to assess the prevalence of smoking and smoking-related behaviours of Belgrade University students depending on their sociodemographic characteristics and faculty group. Methods A cross-sectional study was carried out among 2,608 Belgrade University students (59.6% female) in 2015. A self-administered questionnaire was applied to the opportunity sample to collect the data describing students’ smoking habits and attitudes across all 30 faculties of the university. Results 30.5% of students reported smoking: 26.4% of medical, and 31.1% of non-medical ones. Smoking rate among female students was 31.2% vs. 29.5% among males. Age (p=0.001), relationship (<0.001) and employment status (p=0.002) had statistically significant influence on smoking status, while the differences in smoking status between genders (p=0.141) and medical and non-medical group of students (p=0.066) were not statistically significant. The highest percentage of students started smoking during high school (66.2%). As the most common reason to start smoking, respondents cited peer influence (36.5%). 44.3% of students who smoked unsuccessfully tried to quit smoking. Conclusion To combat high smoking prevalence among a younger population, the formal education of students about the adverse impacts of smoking should be integrated in all active anti-smoking programs. Medical students, as future healthcare professionals, can play an important role in smoking rates reduction among both younger and general populations, if properly trained and educated about smoking prevention and cessation techniques.

Abstract Background Family physicians have an excellent opportunity at primary health care level to influence patients' smoking behavior. Routine screening of all patients for tobacco use is recommended. The objective of the present study was to explore factors related to addressing patients' smoking habits among FPs. Methods Two postal cross-sectional surveys were conducted among the sample of all practicing physicians in Estonia (n = 4140 in 2002, n = 5666 in 2014). Questionnaires of under 65-year-old FPs were included (n = 473 in 2002, n = 468 in 2014). Frequency of addressing patients' smoking habits and agreement with statements concerning perceived barriers, along with confidence intervals (CI) were calculated. Associations of addressing patients' smoking habits at least once during last 7 days with perceived barriers were calculated using logistic regression analysis. Fully adjusted odds ratios (OR) were determined with corresponding 95% (CI). Results The prevalence of addressing patients' smoking at least once during last 7 days was 96.4% (95% CI 94.2-98.7) in 2002 and 97.1% (95% CI 95.0-99.1) in 2014. FPs who agreed that lack of time is a barrier to addressing patients' smoking, were significantly more likely to address patients' smoking (OR 3.53; 95% CI 1.36-9.16) compared to FPs who did not agree with the statement. FPs who agreed that lack of habit is a barrier, were significantly less likely to address patients' smoking (OR 0.14; 95% CI 0.06-0.34) compared to FPs who did not agree. FPs smoking status was not significantly associated with addressing patients' smoking. Conclusions Majority of family physicians addressed patients' smoking habits. Addressing patients' smoking habits was significantly associated with agreeing that lack of time and lack of habit is a barrier to addressing patients' smoking. Results of the present study are useful for policymakers and other institutions involved in organization and development of smoking prevention training and cessation services. Key messages Majority of family physicians addressed patients’ smoking. Addressing patients’ smoking was significantly associated with lack of time and lack of habit as barriers to addressing patients’ smoking. Smoking prevention training and organization of cessation services would further enable family physicians to routinely address patients’ smoking habits.
