“…Our results are coherent with previous evidence showing that improvements in self-efficacy are related to reductions in smoking susceptibility 40 , and suggest that higher levels of self-efficacy can reduce the probability of belonging to a group with descriptive social norms favorable towards smoking. Our results were inconclusive regarding the relationship between pro-sociality traits (need to belong, fear of negative evaluation, and pro-sociality) and belonging to any particular smoking social norms groups, even though other studies have shown a negative relationship between pro-sociality traits and smoking susceptibility 41 , 42 and a negative relation between pro-social influence and age 43 .…”

We know little about how smoking prevention interventions might leverage social network structures to enhance protective social norms. In this study we combined statistical and network science methods to explore how social networks influence social norms related to adolescent smoking in school-specific settings in Northern Ireland and Colombia. Pupils (12–15 years old) participated in two smoking prevention interventions in both countries (n = 1344). A Latent Transition Analysis identified three groups characterized by descriptive and injunctive norms towards smoking. We employed a Separable Temporal Random Graph Model to analyze homophily in social norms and conducted a descriptive analysis of the changes in the students’ and their friends’ social norms over time to account for social influence. The results showed that students were more likely to be friends with others who had social norms against smoking. However, students with social norms favorable towards smoking had more friends with similar views than the students with perceived norms against smoking, underlining the importance of network thresholds. Our results support the notation that the ASSIST intervention takes advantage of friendship networks to leverage greater change in the students' smoking social norms than the Dead Cool intervention, reiterating that social norms are subject to social influence.

Tobacco smoking is one of the most dangerous risk behaviors, leading to many adverse human health consequences. The aims of this study is to estimate the prevalence of tobacco smoking and related factor among adolescents aged 13-17 years in Vietnam. The data were from two rounds of the Vietnam Global School-based Student Health Survey (GSHS) that is the nationally representative survey conducted in 2013 and 2019. The logistic regressions were carried out to identify factors associated with tobacco smoking among study participants. We found the prevalence of current smoking (water pipe and cigarettes) reduced significantly from 5.4% (95% CI: 4.0-7.2) in 2013 to 2.8% (95% CI: 2.2-3.6) in 2019. In 2019, 2.6% of students used electronic cigarette products in the last 30 days. Factors associated with higher odds of current smoking status included study year, gender, parental monitoring, loneliness, suicide attempt, sexual intercourse, truancy, alcohol drinking. Similar patterns were found in e-cigarette use. Smoking among adolescents in Vietnam reduced between 2013 and 2019. Further follow-up studies are needed to confirm the causal factors of the reduction and e-cigarettes use.
