“…Traditional cultural norms discourage the use of tobacco among women in most Asian countries (Pobutsky et al, 2014). This may be the possible explanation supporting our results in which only 2.5% of Chinese women smoked daily as compared to 18.6% of immigrant women in Europe and 20.2% in Spain (Blanco et al, 2014;Castro, 2016).…”

Objective: To explore the use of tobacco, alcohol, and illicit drugs and its associated factors among Chinese immigrants living in Spain. Design and Measures:A mixed-method design, using surveys and semi-structured interviews.Sample: A total of 133 Chinese immigrants and stakeholders were assessed in the quantitative study and 7 stakeholders were interviewed in the qualitative study. Results:The use of tobacco and alcohol was higher than the use of illicit drugs in Chinese immigrants. The prevalence of daily smokers was greater in men than in women (37.3% vs. 2.5%, p < .001). Men consumed more alcohol (76% vs. 50.6%, p = .004) and more frequently (21.6% daily vs. 2.4%, p = .024) than women. The use of illicit drugs was low and Cannabis was the most illicit drug consumed (4%).Qualitative data revealed that due to a great workload, the workers tended to avoid behaviors of illicit drug consumption, but not of alcohol and tobacco, in which the consumption is associated with business meetings and leisure. Conclusion:This study found that Chinese immigrants in Spain consume more alcohol and tobacco than illicit drugs and that men have a high consumption compared to women. These findings reveal important cultural differences that should be addressed by public health managers in order to develop strategies that consider the characteristics of this population.

“…Moreover, higher individual SEP showed a positive association with attempting to quit smoking. A positive relationship between individual SEP and smoking cessation was also observed in a study of a western population [28]. Perhaps those with higher SEP tend to have a healthier lifestyle and therefore consume less tobacco.…”

Background This study examines how prevalence and behaviors of smoking differ by socioeconomic status among rural southwest Chinese adults. Methods A cross-sectional survey was conducted including 7743 adults aged ≥35 years in rural regions of Yunnan Province, China from 2016 to 2018. Information on individual socioeconomic status (SES), ethnicity, and self-reported smoking behaviors was collected utilizing a standardized questionnaire. The individual socioeconomic position (SEP) index was constructed using principal component analysis. Multivariate logistic regression models were used to analyze the association between individual SES variables and the prevalence and behaviors of smoking. Results In the study population, the overall prevalence rate of current smokers was 33.5%. Males had a markedly higher prevalence of current smokers than females (62.6% vs. 4.8%, P < 0.01). Of these smokers, 74.5% began smoking during adolescence, 88.8% had never attempted to quit smoking, and 81.1% reported smoking in public places. Ethnic minority participants and those with low levels of education and/or low SEP were more likely to use tobacco as well as more likely to start smoking, and regularly smoke, during adolescence ( P < 0.01). Participants with poor access to medical services had a higher prevalence of current smoking than their counterparts ( P < 0.01). Among current smokers, Han ethnicity, good access to medical services, and high SEP were positively associated with the probability of having attempted to quit smoking at least once, while a high level of education and high SEP were negatively associated with the probability of smoking in public places. Conclusions Disparities in prevalence and behaviors of smoking exist across a diversity of indicators of individual SES in rural southwest China. Future tobacco cessation interventions should focus on men, ethnic minorities, and those with low education levels, poor access to medical services, and low SEP.

“…ill health and the perception of dissatisfaction with life (Alsubaie, 2018;Rahim, Suksaroj, & Jayasvasti, 2016). Also, socioeconomic position, depressive symptoms, physical dependence, and different gender functions determine whether a person should smoke and stop smoking (Castro, 2016). The higher the social support for students, the higher the motivation to quit smoking in adolescent boys (Rahmasari, 2015).…”

Indonesia was a country with the third-largest number of smokers in the world. Teenagers were one of the age groups at risk of becoming smokers. The smoking behavior of santri in one of the traditional Islamic boarding schools in Aceh Besar was classified as bad. Emotional support is done to change smoking behavior in students. This research used a method quasi experimental through approach prepostest design with controlling. The sample in this study were students aged >18 years who smoked with a total sample size of 47 people for each intervention. The results showed that emotional support was effective in increasing the knowledge (p = 0.043) and attitudes (p = 0.039) of students to quit smoking. However, emotional support was not effective in reducing the number of cigarettes smoked per day (p = 0.906). Emotional support increases the knowledge and attitudes of students to quit smoking but does not reduce the number of cigarettes smoked per day. It is hoped that it is necessary to increase social support that is more effective with longer interventions to reduce the number of cigarettes smoked per day.
