“…The overall prevalence of tobacco observed in our study is consistent with a study from Madhya Pradesh, which found that tobacco was used by 48.1% of urban tribal people aged 40–65 years [ 22 ]. Here, it is worth noting that the prevalence of tobacco use among tribes is much higher than that of the general population (28.6%) in India, as reported by GATS-2 [ 5 ].…”

“…Smoking tobacco was more common among those who did not have formal education, whereas participants who completed primary education were more frequent users of the SLT. These findings are similar to a study conducted among urban tribal people in Madhya Pradesh, which reported maximum tobacco consumption among participants with lesser years of schooling [ 22 ].…”

Background Evidence on tobacco use among indigenous communities is scarce with available literature based either on a specific region or a particular tribe. Considering the large tribal population in India, it is pertinent to generate evidence on tobacco use among this community. Using nationally representative data, we aimed to estimate the prevalence of tobacco use and assess its determinants and regional variations among older tribal adults in India. Methods We analysed data from Longitudinal Ageing Study in India (LASI), wave-1 conducted in 2017–18. A sample of 11,365 tribal individuals aged ≥ 45 years was included in this study. Descriptive statistics was used to assess the prevalence of smokeless tobacco (SLT), smoking, and any form of tobacco use. Separate multivariable regression models were executed to assess the association of various socio-demographic variables with different forms of tobacco use, reported as adjusted odds ratio (AOR) with 95% confidence interval. Results The overall prevalence of tobacco use was around 46%, with 19% of smokers and nearly 32% smokeless tobacco (SLT) users. Participants from the lowest MPCE quintile group had a significantly higher risk of consuming (SLT) [AOR: 1.41 (95% CI: 1.04–1.92)]. Alcohol was found to be associated with both smoking [AOR: 2.09 (95% CI: 1.69–2.58)] and (SLT) [AOR: 3.05 (95% CI: 2.54–3.66)]. Relatively higher odds of consuming (SLT) were associated with the eastern region [AOR: 6.21 (95% CI: 3.91–9.88)]. Conclusion This study highlights the high burden of tobacco use and its social determinants among the tribal population in India, which can help tailor anti-tobacco messages for this vulnerable population to make tobacco control programs more effective.

“…We also observed an association between SLT consumption and lower educational attainment. Our result is in harmony with the observations of a study from Madhya Pradesh, which showed tribal individuals with primary education rampantly used SLT ( 20 ). This signifies the importance of education for better implementation and effectiveness of the existing tobacco control programs for this vulnerable group.…”

IntroductionEvidence on smokeless tobacco use is scarce among indigenous communities, with the available literature based either on a specific tribe or on a particular region. Therefore, we aimed to estimate the prevalence of smokeless tobacco and assess its correlation among tribal communities in India.MethodsWe utilized data from the Global Adult Tobacco Survey-2 conducted in 2016–2017. A total of 12,854 tribal people aged >15 years were included in this study. The utilization of smokeless tobacco was estimated using the weighted proportion, and its correlates were assessed by multivariable logistic regression reported as an adjusted odds ratio (AOR) with a 95% confidence interval.ResultsThe prevalence of smokeless tobacco use was 32%. Participants aged 31–45 years [AOR: 1.66 (1.37–2.00)], who were men [AOR: 2.37 (1.94–1.90)], and who were daily wage/casual laborers [AOR: 5.32 (3.39–8.34)] were observed to have a significant association with smokeless tobacco. Willingness and attempt to quit smokeless tobacco were higher in Eastern India (31.2%) and central India (33.6%), respectively.DiscussionWe observed one-third of the tribal individuals used smokeless tobacco in India. Tobacco control policies should prioritize men, rural residents, and individuals with fewer years of schooling. Culturally appropriate and linguistically tailored messages are required for behavioral change communication.
