“…This study showed that tobacco use among head and neck cancer patients was 25%, which is higher compared to the smoking prevalence among the general population in Tanzania (8.7%) [ 52 ]. However, this result differs from other findings from the cancer case studies conducted in lower- and middle-income countries, such as South Africa, where the smoking prevalence was 86% [ 17 ]; and India [ 53 ], where it was over 45%. However, the smoking prevalence in the general population also differs between countries as well: India (30%) [ 53 ], South Africa (22%) [ 54 ], and Tanzania (8%) [ 52 ].…”

Background: Cancer in Africa is an emerging public health problem that needs urgent preventive measures, particularly in workplaces where exposure to carcinogens may occur. In Tanzania, the incidence rate of cancer and mortality rates due to cancers are increasing, with approximately 50,000 new cases each year. This is estimated to double by 2030. Methods: Our hospital-based cross-sectional study describes the characteristics of newly diagnosed patients with head and neck or esophageal cancer from the Ocean Road Cancer Institute (ORCI), Tanzania. We used an ORCI electronic system to extract secondary data for these patients. Results: According to the cancer registration, there were 611 head and neck and 975 esophageal cancers recorded in 2019–2021. Two-thirds of these cancer patients were male. About 25% of the cancer patients used tobacco and alcohol, and over 50% were involved in agriculture. Conclusion: Descriptions of 1586 head and neck cancer patients and esophageal cancer patients enrolled in a cancer hospital in Tanzania are given. The information may be important for designing future studies of these cancers and may be of value in the development of cancer prevention measures.

“…Our estimates of prevalence of chewing tobacco and smoking in Karnataka were much lower when compared to prevalence reported by some community surveys 16,24 . Setting-based sample and difference in the age composition of subjects (15-35 years vs ≥15 years) might be the reason this.…”

“…Several studies show that increasing age amongst youth is known to increase the odds of chewing tobacco and smoking, as seen in our study 24,28 . Compared to the younger age group (15-19 years), beneficiaries aged ≥20 years had higher odds of chewing tobacco as well as smoking.…”

INTRODUCTION Chewing tobacco and smoking among youth leads to poor health outcomes. Understanding the factors associated with chewing tobacco and smoking is thus important for interventions. METHODS A case-record analysis among 10340 youth (aged 15-35 years) attending a unique mental health promotion program, Yuva Spandana, across the state of Karnataka in southern India, was performed to assess prevalence of chewing tobacco and smoking. Multiple logistic regression was applied to determine the factors associated with their use. RESULTS Overall, the prevalence of chewing tobacco and smoking among beneficiaries was 3% and 2.1%, respectively. The risk of tobacco chewing and smoking increased with age and risk was higher among males, married individuals and among all occupational categories, other than students. Adjusted odds ratios of chewing tobacco were found to be highest among business/salaried beneficiaries (AOR=3.48; 95% CI: 2.27-5.34), followed by ever married beneficiaries (AOR=3.41; 95% CI: 1.27-9.17). Adjusted odds ratios of smoking tobacco were highest among males (AOR=12.89; 95% CI: 7.5-22.14), followed by emotional experience of feeling worthless (AOR=4.19; 95% CI: 2.78-6.32), beneficiaries with poor relationship with family members (AOR=3.79; 95% CI: 1.38-10.44), and business/salaried beneficiaries (AOR=2.90; 95% CI: 1.79-4.7). Strength of association of males with smoking was much higher (AOR=12.89; 95% CI: 7.5-22.14) than compared with chewing tobacco (AOR=2.49; 95% CI: 1.89-3.28). CONCLUSIONS Early identification of these factors associated with chewing tobacco and smoking will help in focusing on youth specific health promotion and interventions to improve their overall health and wellbeing.

“…Currently, 28.6% of all adults consume tobacco, either in smoked or smokeless form, including 42.4% of men and 14.2% of women. 14 For adolescents, current tobacco use prevalence is 19% for males and 8% for females. 15 More than 1 million adults die each year in India due to tobacco use accounting for 9.5% of overall deaths.…”
