“…It meant that the messages stimulated the youth to initiate or continue smoking cigarette. The findings were contrary to the majority researches that conclude any kind of media and program communication contributed to decrease the risk smoking behavior among youth group [21][22][23].…”

Introduction Various anti-tobacco promotions have emerged in order to reduce the detrimental impacts of tobacco advertising on adolescents. The objective of this study is to explore the relationship between the exposure to anti-smoking messages and Indonesian youth smoking behavior. Method We used secondary data from the Indonesian 2019 Global Youth Tobacco Survey (GYTS). The participants were students from grades seven to twelve. We used multiple logistic regression to assess the relationship of anti-smoking messages exposure on the smoking behavior variable. We used complex samples process logistic regression to calculate odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) and controlling for relevant covariables. Results The percentage of the exposure to anti-smoking messages in all types were not more than 25% in each outcome variables. The results also showed that in the current smoker variables, adolescent who exposed to the two variables of anti-smoking messages increased the odds to become current smoker. The variables were anti smoking messages in media (AOR 1.41; 95% CI 1.15–1.73) and in school (AOR 1.26; 95% CI 1.06–1.50). On the other hand, in the smoking susceptibility variables, there were no variables of anti-smoking messages that had relation with it. Conclusions The study concluded that there were only two variables of the anti-smoking messages that had relation with the Indonesian youth smoking behavior, which were current smokers. Unfortunately those variables increased the odds of the respondents to become current smokers. Indonesia government should develop media following international best practices to convey the anti-smoking messages.

IntroductionTobacco use is a global health threat associated with a high disease burden and deaths. Studies concerning current tobacco use and susceptibility to using tobacco products among adolescents who are potential adult tobacco users in Sierra Leone have not been explored. We aimed to estimate the prevalence and correlates of current tobacco use and tobacco non-users susceptibility to using tobacco amongst Sierra Leonean high-school students.MethodWe used data obtained from the 2017 Sierra Leone Global Youth Tobacco Survey (GYTS), which presented information collected from 6680 students aged 11-17years nationwide. Gender-based correlates of current use and susceptibility to using tobacco among non-tobacco users were determined by complex sample logistic regression analyses. Adjusted odds ratios (AOR) and respective 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were reported. p-values less than 0.005 were considered significant.ResultsThe prevalence of current tobacco use among high school adolescents in Sierra Leone was 24.6% and was higher in males (27.9%) than in females (18.6%). Male [AOR=1.50 (95%CI: 1.18-1.91)], parental smoking [AOR=1.73(95%CI:1.32-2.26)] exposure to household secondhand smoke [AOR=1.82(95%CI:1.27-2.62)], having peers who smoke [AOR=2.24(1.51-3.31)] were more likely to be currently using tobacco. On the other hand, adolescents exposed to antismoking media messages were less likely to be current tobacco users [AOR=0.67(95%CI: 0.52-0.85)]. The overall tobacco non-users susceptibility to using tobacco among adolescents in Sierra Leone was 18.2% [male (18.0%), female (18.5%)]. Exposure to tobacco promotion [AOR =1.50(95%CI:1.06-2.10)] and non-exposure to antismoking education [AOR =1.39(95%CI:1.05-1.86)] were significantly associated with tobacco non-users’ susceptibility to using tobacco.ConclusionOur study suggests that one-in-four school-going adolescents currently use tobacco, with nearly one in five non-users susceptible to using tobacco. Given the high prevalence of tobacco product use among Sierra Leonean adults, our findings highlight the need for policies and interventions to prevent tobacco use behaviour among adolescents aimed at averting tobacco use in adulthood.

Studies concerning current tobacco use and susceptibility to using tobacco products among adolescents who are potential adult tobacco users in Sierra Leone have not been explored. We aimed to estimate the prevalence and correlates of current tobacco use and tobacco non-users susceptibility to using tobacco amongst Sierra Leonean high-school students. Method We used data obtained from the 2017 Sierra Leone Global Youth Tobacco Survey (GYTS), which presented information collected from 6680 students aged 11-17years nationwide. Gender-based correlates of current use and susceptibility to using tobacco among non-tobacco users were determined by complex sample logistic regression analyses. Adjusted odds ratios (AOR) and respective 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were reported. p-values less than 0.005 were considered significant. Results The prevalence of current tobacco use among high school adolescents in Sierra Leone was 10.7% and was higher in males (12.2%) than in females (7.4%). Male [AOR = 1.32 (95%CI:1.01–1.72)], exposure to household secondhand smoke [AOR = 2.68(95%CI:1.71–4.20)], having peers who smoke [AOR = 3.07(1.53–6.16)] were more likely to be currently using tobacco. On the other hand, adolescents exposed to antismoking media messages were less likely to be current tobacco users [AOR = 0.45(95%CI: 0.24–0.83)]. The overall tobacco non-users susceptibility to using tobacco among adolescents in Sierra Leone was 18.2% [male (18.0%), female (18.5%)]. Exposure to tobacco promotion [AOR = 1.50(95%CI:1.07–2.11)] and non-exposure to antismoking education [AOR = 1.39(95%CI:1.04–1.85)] were significantly associated with tobacco non-users’ susceptibility to using tobacco. Conclusion Our study suggests that one-in-ten school-going adolescents currently use tobacco, with nearly one in five non-users susceptible to using tobacco. Given the high prevalence of tobacco product use among Sierra Leonean adults, our findings highlight the need for policies and interventions to prevent tobacco use behaviour among adolescents aimed at averting tobacco use in adulthood.
