“…This investigation is also in agreement with previous studies on the factors related to smoking, where the influence of friends was observed as an important factor. The main related factors include having friends who are addicted, being offered cigarettes, and ease of access [39]. However, relatives and accomplices who smoke played an important role in influencing these practices [16], consistent with a study that reported a significant association between the status of family and friends and adolescent behavior [40].…”

Background: Religious factors have been used in tobacco control campaigns but due to different perceptions among Muslim scholars that might have an effect on followers, the strategies of control programs are still interesting. Therefore, this qualitative research aimed to explore the perspectives of Muslim adolescents on smoking habits as a reference for developing effective prevention programs.Methods: Three focus group discussions involving 24 junior high school students (mean age=13.75 years) were the main source of data for this phenomenological qualitative study. The discussion guide was developed by the researchers based on the reviewed literature and validated by experts. The research findings were analyzed using an inductive content method with systematic steps based on the stages of qualitative data analysis.Results: Adolescent perspectives on smoking were grouped into two themes: (a) perception, which encompassed three sub-themes: smoking as a social habit, contradictive feelings, and the Islamic perspective; (b) smoking-related factors involving peer pressure, the parents’ smoking status, curiosity, and masculinity.Conclusion: The results indicated that adolescents consider smoking as a social habit but with contradictive feelings. From an Islamic perspective, smoking is not forbidden by the religion’s beliefs. The smoking habit was also stimulated by peer pressure, imitating parents who smoke, curiosity, and feeling masculine. We suggest that health professionals who are interested in developing smoking prevention programs should consider the adolescent perspective on smoking so that the prevention program will be more effective and appropriate for adolescents.

“…Moreover, this investigation also showed the similarity between factors related to smoking, as in previous studies, where the influence of friends was observed as an important factor. Furthermore, it was also stated that the main related factors include having addicted allies, being offered cigarettes, and also the easy of access [38]. However, relatives and accomplices that smoke played an important role in influencing these practices [15], consistent with the study which reported a significant association between the status of family and friends with adolescent behavior [39].…”

This qualitative research is, therefore aimed to explore the perspective of Muslim adolescents on smoking habits, as a reference in developing effective prevention intervention programs.Methods: Three Focus Group Discussion (FGD) sets, consisting of a total of 24 junior high school students were the main source data for this phenomenological qualitative study. The discussion guide was developed by researchers, based on the reviewed literature and validated by experts. The research finding was analyzed by using an inductive-content method with systematical steps based on the stages of qualitative data analysis.Results: Adolescent perspectives on smoking were grouped into two themes that were (a) perception, which encompasses three sub-themes consisting of smoking as the social habit, the contradictive feeling, and the Islamic perspective, (b) Smoking-related factors involving peer pressure, the parents’ smoking status, curiosity and masculinity.Conclusion: The results indicated that adolescents consider smoking as a social habit with the existence of contradictive feelings. Their Islamic perspective believes that smoking is preferable but not forbidden by religion thought. The smoking habit also was stimulated by pressure from their smoker-peer, immitating their smoker-parents, being curiosity and feeling masculinity. We suggested the health proffesionals who intersted in developing smoking prevention programs to consider about the adolescent perspective about smoking habit. So, the prevention program will be more effective and culturally appropriate for adolescents.
