“…Unfortunately, population-based, national-level data on shisha smoking is scarce in Nigeria, including on the prevalence, smoking patterns and factors that influence the behaviour. The few studies that exist focus on specific populations such as secondary school and university students, medical professionals or nightclub patrons, and cover a few geographical areas (4,5,11,12,(16)(17)(18)(19)(20). For example, we identified only five studies in Nigeria on factors associated with shisha smoking (4,5,16,20,21), and none of them were conducted in the general population: four were among secondary school and university students (4,16,20,21), whilst one was among nightclub patrons (5).…”

“…The smoke contains carcinogens and other toxicants such as nitric oxide and heavy metals, and high levels of carbon monoxide from the burning charcoal (9, 10). For Nigeria, studies among young people have reported high shisha smoking prevalence rates ranging from 3% to 7% (4, 11, 12). Nigeria has made a number of commitments to addressing tobacco use, including shisha smoking, through evidence-informed interventions.…”

BackgroundThis is the first national-level study to identify factors associated with shisha smoking among general population adults in Nigeria where high prevalence rates have been reported.MethodsWe conducted a telephone-based, cross-sectional survey between 28th July and 11th September 2022 in 12 states. We performed logistic regression analysis, with adjusted odds ratios (aORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CI) as the measures of association.FindingsWe surveyed 1278 individuals: 611 who currently smoked shisha and 667 who did not. The following increased the likelihood of being a person who currently smokes shisha: being a person who currently smokes cigarettes (aOR=5.54, 95% CI 2.57 to 11.90) or consumes alcohol (aOR=3.46, 95% CI 1.91 to 6.28); and having a family member (aOR=2.32, 95% CI 1.23 to 4.40), or one (aOR=22.81, 95% CI 9.99 to 52.06) or more (aOR=78.85, 95% CI 22.50 to 276.33) close friends who smoke shisha. The following reduced the likelihood of being a person who currently smokes shisha: being older (aOR=0.92, 95% CI 0.89 to 0.95) and screening positive for possible generalised anxiety disorder (aOR=0.60 95% CI 0.41 to 0.88). The following did not have an effect on current shisha smoking status: sex, level of education, employment status, household wealth, religion, rural/urban residence, perceived stress score, and screening positive/negative for possible major depressive disorder.ConclusionsStrategies to curb shisha smoking need to account for the associated social and behavioural factors, including age, cigarette smoking, alcohol consumption, and having family members or close friends who smoke shisha.

“…However, these are analyses of objective damages. In international studies, we can see research that identifies subjective perceptions of the riskiness of smoking (Ganz et al 2018;Lu et al 2022;Erinoso et al 2021;Stroud et al 2019). Similarly, studies on perceptions of alcohol-related risks show that these risks tend to be underestimated by alcohol users (Wild et al 2001;Wild and Cunningham 2001).…”

The interdisciplinary team in the Department of Christian Social Work of the Sts Cyril and Methodius Faculty of Theology at Palacký University in Olomouc was the head of the entire research and its implementation in the Czech Republic.The present book focuses on a specific part of a broad research issue in the Czech environment. In addition to the socio-demographic analysis of attitudes towards the abuse of the aforementioned four groups of addictive substances, the outcomes of the analysis of the original results of the measurement of reflections on the threat of these substances in four areas that are crucial for the social functioning of each user are presented. The first of these areas is naturally health and the possible health risks associated with substance abuse. The second is the economic risks associated with substance abuse. The third is the level of social relationships, status, and ties in the local community and society, and the fourth is the threat of substance abuse in the area of family and family relationships. The perceived threat in these four dimensions is analysed in relation to the value preferences of the respondents.The authors of this book have attempted to approach the issue of addiction across disciplines in such a way that the relationship between the perceived threat of substance abuse and value preferences in contemporary society can be shown from the data. Value preferences are the key to selecting appropriate methods of social prevention and intervention when addiction occurs only at the stage of recognised threat. The book, without its interpretive level aspiring to describe clinical methods of dealing with addiction, provides a broader context of addiction issues and their reception than is usual in similar publications. The authors have not only devoted their efforts to mapping the situation but also offer suggestions for forms of prevention and intervention by social work and social pedagogy for groups at risk. In doing so, they distinguish between different groups of addictive substances that affect social functioning and value preferences in different ways.

Shisha smoking has increased significantly worldwide over the past decade including in developing countries such as Nigeria. We aimed to understand the reasons for shisha smoking in Nigeria in order to address the lack of context-specific evidence to inform the national response to the growing threat posed by shisha smoking. We adopted the Theory of Planned Behaviour to conduct in-depth interviews among 78 purposely sampled current shisha smokers in 13 states (six in each state), and a quantitative survey including a random sample of 611 current shisha smokers in 12 states, across the six geopolitical zones in Nigeria. The in-depth interview data was analysed using thematic analysis whilst the quantitative survey data was analysed descriptively. We triangulated the key findings from the two datasets using a triangulation matrix organised by the three meta-themes: attitude, subjective norms, perceived behavioural control. Positive attitudes towards shisha smoking stem from shisha flavours, perceived pleasure from shisha smoking, curiosity about product attributes, beliefs about health benefits, limited knowledge on the health effects, and weak regulation. Having friends and family members who smoke shisha and the need to belong, particularly during social events, also promote shisha smoking. Negative societal views towards shisha smoking are potentially a protective factor. The availability of and ability to smoke shisha in many places makes shisha more accessible, whilst the high costs of shisha are potentially prohibitive. The findings also indicate that quitting shisha smoking without support is difficult. Restrictions on flavours, strengthening compliance monitoring and enforcement of the tobacco control laws in relation to shisha (e.g., smoke-free environments in indoor and outdoor public places; health warnings in English on shisha products including the pots; and tax and price measures) have the potential to minimise initiation and use, and to protect the health and wellbeing of Nigeria’s general public.
