“…In the Turkish sample, more men than women reported the reason "because it looks cool". The pattern of findings in the present study are in line with the findings from a study about waterpipe use among North American adolescents, which found that adolescents strongly endorsed the following statements: if my best friend offered me a hookah, I would smoke; hookah helps young people feel more comfortable; hookah helps people relieve stress; it would be easy to quit using hookah [40]. The higher perceived social acceptability of waterpipe use among friends was also found to be related to the higher odds of having ever tried a waterpipe in North American adolescents [41].…”

Polytobacco use has become increasingly popular among young adults, particularly males, and can be defined as the concurrent use of regular cigarettes and other tobacco products (e.g., e-cigarettes). The present study investigated the use of legal smoking products (cigarettes, waterpipe and electronic cigarettes) among young adults (n = 355) in Spain and Turkey. The survey measured demographics, lifetime and past month tobacco use, waterpipe and e-cigarette use, whether waterpipes and e-cigarettes contained nicotine and reasons for using these substances. The majority of the Turkish (men = 80% and women = 63.9%) and Spanish sample (men = 61.4% and women = 69.3%) were polytobacco users. The most common reason for using e-cigarettes was "to experiment, to see what is like" (Turkish sample: men 66.7% and women 57.1; Spanish sample: men 72.7% and women 93.8%). The most common reason to use regular cigarettes was "to relax and relieve tension" (Turkish sample: men 88.9% and women 77.6%; Spanish sample: men 78.1% and women 76%), while for waterpipe users, the most common reason was "to experiment, to see what it is like" (Turkish sample: men 93.3% and women 80%; Spanish sample: men 78.9% and women 93.8%). The implications for prevention and future research are discussed.

“…Shisha use was found to be at 31.9%. This is similar to what was found in a recent study among the youth in the United States, [17] at 38.1% and that found among Florida high school students (22.5%) in 2014, [18]. However, in a study of emerging drugs in Mombasa and Nairobi, Kenya, Kihuthia-Gathu et al 2013 [19] reported that over 25% of youth between 26-35 years of age abused shisha.…”

This study aimed at determining shisha use and its associated factors among Somali Community youth living in Eastleigh in Nairobi. A researcher-developed questionnaire was presented to the participants asking demographic and socioeconomic characteristics with their use of shisha to collect data in selected households. Both descriptive and inferential statistics using SPSS version 23 was used in analyzing data. Findings indicated a high prevalence of shisha use, comorbid use with other psychoactive substances that include khat, other tobacco products, alcoholic beverages and prescription medications. Reasons for use included peer pressure, social acceptability, parental use and affordability. We recommend psychoeducation on the effects of shisha to target both parents and the youth in prevention of shisha use among Somali community.

“…The cognitions associated with tobacco use were based upon previous research in this area [19]. The questions were "I would smoke if my best friend offered", "young people who use these products have more friends", "the product makes young people look cool", "the product makes young people feel more comfortable", "the product helps to relieve stress", and "it would be easy to quit these products".…”

“…In order to construct the tobacco use cognitions scales (TUCS), the cognitions were dichotomized into "would not endorse" (definitely no and probably no), rated 0, or "would endorse" (definitely yes and probably yes), rated 1 [19]. Following this, we added the scores of the six items so that the scales created for each tobacco product ranged from 0 (no endorsement of any cognition) to 6 (endorsed all 6 cognitions) [15].…”

Background: Polytobacco use is common among young adults. The purpose of the present study was to investigate a number of cognitions related to the use of three tobacco products (cigarettes, e-cigarettes and waterpipes) among young adults. Methods: Participants (n = 799, 59.4% women) aged 18–25 years old (M = 21.8, SD = 1.7) completed an online tobacco cognitions questionnaire. Results: For all three tobacco products, there was significantly more agreement with the cognition “I would smoke if my best friend offered” among tobacco users (used one or more tobacco products) than among non-users. For e-cigarettes and waterpipes, there was significantly more agreement with the cognition “It would be easy to quit these products” than was reported by non-users. Polytobacco users (three tobacco products) endorsed the cognitions scale (the six cognition items were combined to form a single cognitions scale for each tobacco product) significantly more than non-users for cigarettes and e-cigarettes. Furthermore, waterpipe users, polytobacco users, dual users and single users all endorsed the combined cognitions scales more strongly than non-users. Conclusions: Efforts to prevent polytobacco use should ensure that young adults have the necessary self-efficacy to resist peer pressure and provide them with clear information about the health risks associated with using alternative tobacco products.
