“…22 Similarly, in another study, the odds of intention to quit smoking increased approximately 1.4 times in those using the first smoke of the day after 30 minutes of waking up as compared with those using the first smoke of the day within 30 minutes of waking up. 21 This result has also been supported by other studies. 7,23,24 It indicates that those who experienced less craving for tobacco after waking up had a higher intention to quit tobacco use as compared with those who experienced more urge for tobacco after waking up.…”

“…This finding is supported by the results reported in earlier studies as the chance of intention to quit tobacco use diminishes when tobacco is used for a prolonged period. 6,21 This might be explained by the fact that those who used tobacco for less number of years did not develop nicotine dependence to the extent as found in those using tobacco for more number of years.…”

Introduction Intention to quit is the initial step and a strong predictor of quitting tobacco use. Objective The aim of this study was to estimate the prevalence and determinants of intention to quit tobacco use among adolescent tobacco users residing in the slum areas of Bhubaneswar, India. Materials and Methods A community-based cross-sectional study was performed during the year 2017–2018 involving 152 adolescent tobacco users residing in the slums of Bhubaneswar. Multistage cluster random sampling was used to select the study areas. Results Ninety-three (61.2%) adolescents had the intention to quit tobacco use. Multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed that the odds of intention to quit tobacco use was significantly higher in adolescents who used it for less than 5 years' duration (adjusted odds ratio (aOR): 2.59; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.14–5.87), those used first tobacco of the day between 31 and 60 minutes after waking up in the morning (aOR: 2.60; 95% CI: 1.17–5.79) or more than 60 minutes after waking up (aOR: 6.69; 95% CI: 2.28–19.61), and those who noticed anti-tobacco messages in any media in the past 30 days (aOR: 2.70; 95% CI: 1.02–7.14). Conclusion The prevalence of intention to quit tobacco use among slum adolescents of Bhubaneswar is 61.2%, which can be enhanced by incorporating the determinants of the intention to quit tobacco use in the existing anti-tobacco schemes.

Objectives: To assess the prevalence and reasons of tobacco consumption among health care workers (housekeeping staff and nursing orderlies) of a tertiary care center in Haryana, India. Methods: It was a fully mixed concurrent dominant status design with dominant quantitative part where cross sectional design was used. The qualitative component used phenomenology. All the housekeeping staff and nursing orderlies working (306 total) at a tertiary care center, Faridabad were recruited in the study. In depth interview was conducted on twenty workers (12 housekeeping staff and 8 nursing). Results: Overall prevalence of tobacco consumption was 43.4%. Among tobacco users, smokeless tobacco was used by more than half of housekeeping staff (53.2%). Nursing orderly preferred smoked form i.e. cigarette (41%). Participants discussed social and cultural conditions in Haryana under which smoking hookah are practiced and maintained. Smoking as a means of socializing and relaxation were consistently discussed as the main reasons for continued use in everyday lives. Working condition was a compelling factor for housekeeping staff leading to its continuous use to carry on the current job. Conclusion: Tobacco consumption among health workers is higher as compared to general population. Appreciating their diverse representations their attitudes towards health and anti-tobacco measures; would increase acceptance of policies and probability that can lead to positive outcomes.

A BSTRACT Background: Human population is ageing worldwide. Disabilities are common with ageing; but most of the studies focused on the medical model of disability. However, “disability and elderly” encompasses a larger spectrum of conditions and needs to be studied as a broader concept. This study was done to estimate the prevalence of disability in elderly people in terms of WHO DAS 2.0 Scale and to identify the factors associated with disability in the elderly people. Methodology: A sample of 220 elderly people was enrolled by multistage random sampling from TP Chatram, a slum in Chennai. A pre-tested semi-structured questionnaire about the socio-demographic details was administered. The disability was assessed by WHO DAS 2.0 Scale. The data entered in Microsoft Excel were analysed using SPSS 21.0. Results are expressed in mean, proportions, and odds ratio appropriately. Results: The prevalence of disability was found to be 20.9%. The mean disability scores were more in the domain of getting along with people (34.68 ± 14.70), followed by the domain of getting around (30.64 ± 24.33) and societal participation (25.55 ± 21.97). Advancing age, female gender, presence of chronic illness were the factors increasing the risk of disability. Education confers significant protection against the development of disability. Conclusion: It is not only the physical inability that disables the elderly but also the lack of societal participation. So it becomes the responsibility of every individual to make the elderly people socially inclusive apart from screening them to detect disability in the earlier stage itself.
