“…According to a research conducted in Russia, it was found that 15.8% of individuals who smoked on a regular basis were in the age group of 1518 years and 41.4% were in the age group of 19-24 years (23). In the United States, for the age group of 15-18 years, the percentage of individuals who consumed any tobacco product was 24.5%, where as that of individuals who smoked cigarettes was 17.0% (24). In Iran, the rate of smoking was 0.3% for the age group of 15-19 years and 4.8% for the age group of 20-24 years (25).…”

INTRODUCTION Young adults generally do not perceive waterpipe tobacco smoking (WTS) to be addictive. Underlying reasons for these false perceptions have received limited research attention and little is known about effective WTS prevention messaging. This study examined perceptions of the addictiveness of WTS among young adults and ascertained their feedback on WTS prevention message content. METHODS Young adult (n=44, Mean [M] age 25.3, SD 2.7, range 18-30) waterpipe tobacco users were recruited online for a cross-sectional survey. Closed-ended measures assessed demographics, waterpipe use, other tobacco consumption, and perceived addictiveness of WTS. Open-ended items assessed perceptions of WTS and ascertained feedback on WTS prevention message content. Quantitative data were analyzed descriptively. Open-ended data were coded to identify emerging themes. RESULTS Participants reported low perceived addictiveness of WTS (Mean 2.0, SD 0.9, range 1-not at all, 4 -very), perceived chances of becoming addicted (Mean 3.0, SD 1.6, range 1-no chance, 7-certain), and desire to quit (Mean 3.0, SD 1.8, range 1-not at all, 7-very). In openended responses, participants indicated social WTS does not lead to addiction and believe it is easy to quit. Some expressed concerns that WTS addiction may lead to health harms, social stigma, and financial costs. Participants indicated messages using vivid imagery and conveying negative health effects could motivate cessation. CONCLUSIONS Young adults view that WTS is not addictive, particularly related to use in social settings. Research can build from this study by developing and testing messages to motivate WTS cessation in young adults.

“…In addition, this study found current (30-day) use of electronic cigarettes among survey participants was 9.6%. While there are no available data for 30-day electronic cigarette use among N.C. adults, the most recent national data show a much lower rate of adult current electronic cigarette use (3.3%) 17 . Additional data are needed on all aspects of the use of these new products, including use among restaurant/ bar employees and patrons.…”

INTRODUCTION Smoke-free policies are effective in eliminating health hazards that can lead to chronic diseases and premature death. How hospitality businesses experience clean indoor air policies may provide leverage in States that have not adopted such policies. This study assessed whether North Carolina restaurants and bars receive complaints and/or experience benefits five years after implementation of the State's smoke-free law. METHODS A 2015 mail survey was used to assess problems, benefits, and voluntary policies (i.e., policies related to the use of electronic cigarettes indoors and outside smoke-free seating areas) among restaurant and bar owners/managers. The survey yielded 135 responses for a response rate of 20.3%. RESULTS The two most frequently selected benefits among respondents were customers breathing less tobacco smoke (65.2%) and fewer complaints about secondhand smoke (58.5%). The majority of restaurants (79.7%) and bars (71.4%) reported experiencing at least one benefit from the law. Restaurants were significantly more likely than bars to restrict the use of electronic cigarettes inside. No significant difference was found between restaurants and bars in smokefree outdoor customer areas. Bars were more likely to report problems with the smoke-free law (e.g. lack of outdoor space for smoking, compliance issues). CONCLUSIONS This study reveals successes of North Carolina's smoke-free law. The majority of respondents reported experiencing at least one benefit of the law and some reported that they had implemented additional voluntary policies. Learning more about how hospitality businesses experience smoke-free laws can help other states and communities deal with similar policy changes in the future.
