“…27 A study on Nepalese adolescents identified that parental involvement was a protective factor for smoking. 22 Parental connectedness and supervision have also been shown as protective factors for adolescent tobacco use. 23 A lack of parental supervision or connectedness could perhaps make adolescents feel neglected and therefore may increase their risk of smoking.…”

“…Participants were coded as nonsmoker if they did not smoke any cigarettes and coded as a person who smokes if they reported that they smoked cigarettes for one or more days in the past month. 16,22,23 The independent variables included in this study were self-reported loneliness, number of close friends, and parental understanding. Loneliness was measured using the item "During the past 12 months, how often have you felt lonely?"…”

Tobacco use among youth in the South-East Asian region is quite prevalent. This study aims to examine if psychosocial factors (perceived loneliness, peer, and parental relationships) were associated with adolescent smoking, and whether the effects were different according to sex and age. Data came from the Global School-based Student Health Surveys collected between 2012 and 2015 in Brunei, Cambodia, Indonesia, Laos, Malaysia, Philippines, Thailand, Timor-Leste, and Vietnam. 64 578 (males = 48.5%) adolescents aged 13-18 completed the survey. Prevalence of past-month cigarette use was 10.6%. Adolescent smoking was associated with loneliness (OR = 1.75, 95% CI [1.74, 1.75]), lack of close friends (OR = 1.43, 95% CI [1.42, 1.43]), and lack of parental understanding (OR = 1.35, 95% CI [1.34, 1.35]). There was significant interactions between sex with loneliness, close friends, and parental understanding ( p < .001). Interactions indicated having no close friends is associated with smoking and is stronger for females than males. Conversely, loneliness was associated with smoking more strongly in males than females. Results indicate that psychosocial factors are linked to adolescent smoking in South-East Asia, suggesting a further need for research on the relation of psychosocial factors with smoking, and their underlying factors.

“…This demonstrated that smoking initiation mostly affects children and adolescents [18]. This is particularly concerning because smokers exposed themselves to the negative effects of cigarettes at a very young age, which led to smoking-related ailments [17] and other highrisk behaviours [54]. The economic cost of tobacco is substantial and includes astronomical health care expenses for treating diseases caused by tobacco use.…”

“…As stated in the preceding paragraph, since the majority of kiddie pack consumers were adolescents, the concealment of kiddie packs from their parents would allow the adolescents to continue smoking as their parents would be unaware of their smoking status. Multiple studies have demonstrated that parental participation is an important protective factor against daily smoking among teenagers [54]. In addition to the engagement of other parties, such as school-based intervention [55], high parental involvement significantly reduced the likelihood of adolescents becoming current smokers [54].…”

Small cigarette pack sizes contain less than 20 cigarette sticks in a pack. Smaller packs may suggest lower costs, increasing affordability among lower-income users, especially the younger generation, which could lead to tobacco-related diseases and economic costs, including human capital lost results from tobacco-attributable morbidity and mortality. This concern has caused many countries to ban the sale of single cigarette sticks or kiddie packs. However, small cigarette pack sizes were proposed recently to be reintroduced by the tobacco industry with an excuse to prevent consumers from buying illicit cigarettes. This would demean efforts in combating tobacco consumption based on the existing tobacco control policies to prevent minors from purchasing cigarettes. Given the competing influences of affordability and availability of tobacco on consumption and the dearth of evidence-based review on the impact of pack size on smoking, this systematic review was conducted to identify the link between kiddie packs and smoking specifically on the initiation of smoking, urge/tendency to buy cigarettes among the general population and attempt to reduce cigarette consumption and prevalence of smoking using kiddie packs among current smokers. Methods: We include all studies except for reviews, guidelines, conference papers, commentaries, editorials, or opinion pieces. A database search was conducted in PubMed, EMBASE, CENTRAL, Web of Science and Scopus on 27 November 2021. The results were presented in the form of narrative synthesis under four groups: initiation of smoking; urge/tendency to buy cigarettes; the prevalence of smoking, and attempt to reduce cigarette consumption. The literature search identified 1601 articles, of which 21 articles had met the inclusion criteria. The methodological quality of all included articles was determined using a validated 16-item quality assessment tool (QATSDD). The average quality score for all papers was 34.8%. Discussion: Given the diverse study settings of the articles and despite the challenges of the methodological quality of some articles, this review provides some evidence that kiddie packs may increase the urge/tendency to buy cigarettes and mixed evidence on the attempt to reduce cigarette consumption. This review also found some evidence that kiddie pack purchasing among teenage smokers was higher compared to adults. However, we are uncertain about the link between kiddie packs and smoking initiation. Nevertheless, since most studies were of low quality, further high-quality studies are needed to conclude about the impact of kiddie packs on smoking to assist the policymakers and stakeholders in formulating new policies and strengthening existing strategies related to the kiddie packs.

Highlights • Tobacco use was highest, followed by alcohol and marijuana use. • The prevalence of substance use was higher in male than female adolescents. • Parental homework supervision significantly lowered the odds of alcohol and tobacco use. • Parental free-time supervision significantly reduced the odds of alcohol and tobacco use. • No significant association was found between parent-child connectedness and marijuana use.
