“…The results of another study showed that gender was a significant determinant, with tobacco use among boys at 5% compared to 1% among girls (p < 0.001). 21 The Global Youth Tobacco Survey surveyed 2,074 Indonesian students between the ages of 15 and 20 and found that 43.9% (63% of boys and 18.8% of girls) had ever smoked. 7 Male students were three times more likely to have ever tried e-cigarettes or cigarettes than female students.…”

This aspect of social norms relates to and influences many aspects of human behaviour, including health.…”

“…5 Aswathy et al reported second hand smoke exposure among 20.3% of high school students in Ernakulam district of Kerala. 6 A cross sectional study done by Rustagi et al among class 7 and class 8 school students pointed out that though children reported smoking from other people was harmful (89%) and discussion about harmful effects of smoking was carried out by school authorities (73.2%) and families (75.9%) of adolescents yet attitude towards SHS among adolescents was favourable and was considered helpful in enhancing socialization among boys (73.10%) and making personality attractive among girls. 7 Teachers are an essential target population for tobacco control activities because they serve as role models for students, disseminators of tobacco prevention knowledge, and significant opinion leaders in terms of creating school tobacco control attitudes.…”

Objective was to assess the knowledge and behaviour of high school teachers towards SHS in Davanagere city.Methods: A cross sectional questionnaire survey was conducted in the school setting involving a stratified random sample of 160 high school teachers in Davanagere city. A pre validated 18 item questionnaire was used to collect data with responses on 5-point Likert scale. The questionnaire was tested for face validity, language validity and content validity (content validity index score for relevance clarity, simplicity and ambiguity was 0.87, 0.84, 0.92, and 0.94, respectively). The significant level was fixed at p<0.05. Descriptive data was expressed in frequencies. Statistical analysis was done using Student’s unpaired ‘t’ test, one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) and Pearson’s/Spearman’s correlation tests.Results: The mean age of teachers was 37.59±9.56 years with average teaching experience of 10.72±8.02 years. The mean knowledge and behaviour scores of participants were 29.65±4.94 and 31.56±4.28 respectively which reflected good knowledge and behaviour towards SHS. Knowledge and behaviour scores of participants were significantly (p<0.05) correlated with age (r=-0.19, -0.26), sex (r=0.21, 0.27) and teaching experience (r=-0.17, -0.23). Knowledge scores were positively correlated with behaviour scores (r=0.52, p=0.00).Conclusions: High school teachers in Davanagere city had good knowledge about and behaviour towards SHS.

INTRODUCTION Tobacco smoke contains a large number of harmful substances and carcinogens. Smoking and secondhand smoke cause a variety of cancers and diseases, seriously endangering human health. However, the status and characteristics of the awareness of hazards due to tobacco among people aged ≥15 years in Chongqing, China, are still unknown. METHODS A multistage stratified cluster random sampling method was used to select ten districts and counties in Chongqing Municipality, China and a total of 6622 people were investigated between August and October 2020. The chi-squared test was used to analyze the awareness of hazards due to tobacco in various populations after the data had been cleaned and weighted. RESULTS In 2020, the awareness rates of people aged ≥15 years in Chongqing, China, about a specific disease caused by smoking were lung cancer (77.1%), heart disease (45.1%), stroke (40.1%), and penile erectile dysfunction (24.2%). However, only 22.1% of the respondents knew that smoking could simultaneously lead to all four diseases mentioned above. Adult lung cancer was the disease with the highest awareness rating (72.5%), followed by children's lung disease (54.2%) and adult heart disease (46.1%). A total of 42.0% of respondents knew that secondhand smoke could cause the three diseases simultaneously. Only 22.0% of those correctly understood the harm of low-tar cigarettes. The logistic regression results showed that education level and occupation were risk factors for lack of awareness of hazards due to tobacco. In contrast, media campaigns on tobacco control were a protective factor. CONCLUSIONS The awareness of hazards due to tobacco among people aged ≥15 years in Chongqing, China, still needs to be improved. More graphic health warning labels and mass media campaigns about the hazards of tobacco should be carried out to raise people's awareness and warn about the health risks of smoking.
