“…Using a large sample of adolescents from different European cities, the results confirm earlier findings on the strong relationship between personal income and smoking 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7. Additionally, we found that personal income had an independent association with smoking, and did not act as a mere proxy of family SES.…”

“…This association was observed in middle‐income countries such as China 3 and India 1, 4, and high‐income countries and regions such as England 5, Scotland 8 and the United States 7. The relationship was also observed for various indicators such as current smoking 3, 4, 7, 8, heavy smoking 5 and amount spent on cigarettes 6.…”

AimsThis study investigates the link between personal income and smoking among adolescents, and aims to answer the following questions: (i) to what extent is personal income related to smoking, independent of family socio‐economic status (SES) and (ii) does the association between personal income and smoking apply to different subpopulations?DesignCross‐sectional study.SettingSix cities from European countries (Amersfoort, the Netherlands; Coimbra, Portugal; Hannover, Germany; Latina, Italy; Namur, Belgium; Tampere, Finland) in 2013.ParticipantsA school‐based sample of 10 794 adolescents aged 14–17 years.MeasurementsWe modelled smoking experimentation, weekly smoking, daily smoking and (among daily smokers) smoking intensity as function of personal income, adjusting for age, sex, family SES, parental smoking and country. We tested interactions between personal income and covariates. Stratification analyses were performed for the variables for which interactions were significant.FindingsAdolescents in the highest income quintile were more likely to be smoking experimenters [odds ratio (OR) = 1.87; P < 0.01], weekly smokers (OR = 3.51; P < 0.01) and daily smokers (OR = 4.55; P < 0.01) than those in the lowest quintile. They also consumed more cigarettes per month (β = 0.79; P < 0.01). Adjusting for family SES did not modify the significance of relationships, and increased the magnitude of the association for daily smoking. None of the interactions between covariates and personal income was significant for smoking measures. For the intensity of smoking, the interaction was significant for SES. The stratified analysis showed a non‐significant association between smoking intensity and personal income among the oldest adolescents and those with the lowest SES background, while significant among younger and higher SES backgrounds.ConclusionIn the Netherlands, Portugal, Germany, Italy, Belgium and Finland, adolescents' personal income is related positively to smoking behaviours independent of family socio‐economic status (SES). However, among low socio‐economic status adolescent daily smokers, the association between the intensity of smoking and personal income is weaker.

“…(10) NFHS 3 has reported a relatively higher prevalence of tobacco use in rural than in urban area, while the prevalence of tobacco use in tribal areas is still very high compared to rural and urban counterpart. (11)(12)(13) As per report of Tobacco Control in India (2004), more than 8-9 lakh death are directly or indirectly linked to tobacco consumption every year in India. The proportion of all deaths that can be attributed to tobacco use is expected to rise from 1.4% in 1990 to 13.3% in 2020, which will result in form of enormous economic, emotional and societal costs for nearly a billion of people.…”

“…8 NFHS 3 has reported a relatively higher prevalence of tobacco use in rural than in urban area, while the prevalence of tobacco use in tribal areas is still very high compared to rural and urban counterpart. [9][10][11] Very few community-based studies have been conducted on the prevalence of tobacco among tribals in India. Such studies will be useful for understanding the problem of tobacco consumption and for taking specific interventional measures at the community level.…”

Background: Tobacco use is one of the common risk factors for major non-communicable diseases. It succumbs half of its users to death. Estimates suggest that tobacco will cause about 150 million deaths in the first quarter of the century and 300 million in the second quarter. Prevalence of tobacco use in rural area is higher than urban area. While there is still paucity of data of tobacco consumption among tribal population. The study aims to determine the prevalence of tobacco consumption and its different modes among tribal population. Methods: A cross-sectional study carried out among 800 study subject 15 years and above of randomly selected villages of Mandla district of M.P., from January 2015 to June 2015 using a pre-designed pre-tested proforma. Results: Tobacco consumption was prevalent among 43.38% of the study subjects with khaini (68.3%) being the most common form of tobacco consumed followed by betel nut (9.5%). Its consumption was significantly associated with gender, age group, educational status and the marital status of the respondents. Conclusions: The prevalence of tobacco use is alarmingly high (43.38%). There is a need to strengthen IEC and Behaviour change communication activities focussing on the hazardous effects of tobacco through health education campaigns is needed in tribal areas.
