“…Data from the literature showed that certain substances are used to cope with stress [ 27 ]. Similar to other studies [ 28 ], in our studied sample, the prevalence of smoking was high (45.6%), everyday smoking being higher in male students compared to females (26.3% vs. 19.2%); the intensity of smoking (reflected by the daily number of cigarettes) was associated with alcohol consumption, as shown in the multivariate logistic regression.…”

Poor eating habits and substance abuse are major public health concerns among young adults transitioning into university life. This study's objective was to assess Romanian students' alcohol consumption and correlate it with other lifestyle factors. We performed a cross-sectional study of 1212 students with a mean age of 21.1 ± 2.4 years. We applied a valid online questionnaire to evaluate and statistically analyze the interrelation between alcohol consumption and lifestyle factors by multivariate statistical analysis. The prevalence of alcohol consumption among the student population enrolled in the study was 79.9%. Multiple regression showed that alcohol consumption was positively associated with gender (p < 0.001), level of physical activity (p = 0.009), number of cigarettes (p < 0.001), and fast-food consumption (p < 0.001), and negatively associated with sleep (p = 0.012) and study hours (p < 0.001). The study revealed a high prevalence (18%) of binge drinking among males. The frequent use of illicit drugs is associated with alcohol consumption (p < 0.001) but present at low levels (1.6%). The study evidenced a high prevalence of alcohol consumption in students, especially in males, and poor food behavior related to the intake of vegetables and fruits. Health promotion campaigns regarding the harmful effects of alcohol, smoking, poor nutrition, and ongoing illicit drug prevention campaigns are needed to improve students' performances.

“…Age and gender, and some personality traits, are factors influencing the onset of alcohol and tobacco use [20]. The study by Granja et al [10], for example, found that use of alcohol was higher in men than in women. This risk behavior is also linked to adolescent emotional skills.…”

“…There is also a relationship between the use of tobacco and alcohol among adolescents, in which the probability of smoking is ten times higher among those drinking alcohol [9]. Many studies have been done over the years on the relationship between these two substances, as well as their repercussions in adolescence [10,11]. Among these consequences are decreased academic performance [12], increased impulsivity [13], and both physically and verbally [14,15] violent behavior [16] in school [17].…”

The use of alcohol and tobacco is related to several variables, which act as risk or protective factors depending on the circumstances. The objectives of this study were to analyze the relationship between emotional intelligence, resilience, and family functioning in adolescent use of alcohol and tobacco, and to find emotional profiles for their use with regard to self-concept. The sample was made up of 317 high school students aged 13 to 18, who filled out the Brief Emotional Intelligence Inventory, the Resilience Scale for Adolescents, the APGAR Scale, the Alcohol Expectancy Questionnaire–Adolescents, and the Five-Factor Self-Concept Questionnaire. The results revealed that emotional intelligence and resilience, specifically stress management and family cohesion, were significant in the group of non-users. Family functioning acts as a predictor for the onset of use of tobacco and alcohol. Positive expectancies about drinking alcohol were found to be a risk factor, and the intrapersonal factor was found to be protective. Both stress management and family cohesion were protective factors against smoking. Furthermore, cluster analysis revealed the emotional profiles for users of both substances based on self-concept. Finally, the importance of the direction of the relationship between the variables studied for intervention in this problem should be mentioned. Responsible use by improving adolescent decision-making is one of the results expected from this type of intervention.

“…Besides ages, number of smokers in the family and education level are considered as the contributing factors for an individual to take up smoking (Kelishadi et al, 2004). With regards to gender, the smoking habit is more dominant among males (Granja et al, 2019). Poor marital status and alcohol consumption also influence the smoking habits .…”

The paper aims to examine the conceptual model on the impact of sociodemographic towards coronary heart disease. There is still limited study on the association between cost of living particularly the cost of food and housing and its impact on coronary heart disease. Therefore, this study incorporates five essential sociodemographic attributes namely, cost of food, children education cost, housing cost, smoking habit and gender. The study provides greater understanding on how the cost of living and lifestyle may give impact to coronary heart disease. It may provide the awareness among the regulators as the society faces burden of high cost of living. The burden may threaten the Malaysians quality of life particularly the lower income group.
