Tobacco Use, Knowledge of Tobacco Risks, and Perception of Smoking Behaviors Among Urban and Rural Youth in South Sulawesi, Indonesia By Ryan A. Sutherland Dr. Marney White, PhD Yale University Adviser Dr. Tomoyuki Shibata, PhD Northern Illinois University Adviser A thesis submitted to the Faculty of Public Health of Yale University in partial fulfillment of the requirements of the degree of Master of Public Health Social and Behavioral Science Department Yale School of Public Health 2020 Abstract Abstract. This observational study surveyed knowledge, practice, and attitudes (KAP) of N=959 youth 13 – 18 years of age in South Sulawesi, Indonesia and assessed how age, sex, familial smoking status, friend group smoking status, teacher smoking status, parental education, parental employment, exposure to tobacco-related advertisements, access to internet-connecting technological devices (INT-D) and television, and monthly pocket money were associated with youths’ perceptions of tobacco users and smoking, knowledge of tobacco health risks, and smoking status. This study also examined how urban or rural environment and schooling — access or lack of access to formal education — shaped youths’ decisions to smoke cigarettes and influenced their perceptions and knowledge of health risks. In this study, sex, age, schooling and environment, paternal education, pocket money, and friend group smoking status had significant effects on youths’ decisions to smoke. After adjusting for covariates, female youth were less likely to smoke than male youth, rural island youth and those from street children communities enrolled in alternative education were less likely to smoke than those from urban communities enrolled in formal education, those who reported some, most or all of their friends smoked were more likely to smoke than those who indicate that none of their friends smoked, those whose fathers had higher education were less likely to smoke than those whose fathers had only completed high school or less, and for every increase in 100,000Rp (Indonesian Rupiah) of monthly pocket money, youth were more likely to smoke. Considering that more than 225,000 Indonesians die each year from cigarette-related illnesses (14.7% of all deaths) and that the percentage of adult smokers in Indonesia is among the highest in the world at over 61.4 million, understanding the motivations that encourage youth to smoke and recording their perceptions of tobacco risk are vitally important to develop prevention programming. i Extended Abstract. This observational study surveyed knowledge, practice, and attitudes (KAP) of N=959 youth 13 – 18 years of age in South Sulawesi, Indonesia and assessed how age, sex, familial smoking status, friend group smoking status, teacher smoking status, parental education, parental employment, exposure to tobacco- related advertisements, access to internet-connecting technological devices (INT-D) and television, and monthly pocket money were associated with youths’ perceptions of tobacco users and smoking, knowledge of tobacco health risks, and smoking status. Furthermore, this study also examined how urban or rural environment and schooling — access or lack of access to formal education — shaped youths’ decisions to smoke cigarettes and influenced their perceptions and knowledge of health risks. N=57 urban street children (Makassar) and N=59 rural island children (Saugi, Satando and Sepuli islands) completed KAP surveys, and their responses were statistically analyzed using chi-squared (χ2) tests, Fisher’s Exact tests, and unadjusted and adjusted logistic regressions in SAS. These results were compared to those of students who were enrolled in formal education (N=843) in Islamic character schools, public and private schools in urban Makassar and completed the same KAP surveys. In this study, sex, age, schooling and environment, paternal education, pocket money, and friend group smoking status had significant effects on youths’ decisions to smoke. After adjusting for covariates, female youth were less likely to smoke than male youth (OR 0.45, p = 0.0002), rural island youth and those from street children communities enrolled in alternative education were less likely to smoke than those from urban communities enrolled in formal education (OR 0.40, p = 0.0343; OR 0.30, p = 0.0059), those who reported some, most or all of their friends smoked were more likely to smoke than those who indicate that none of their friends smoked (OR 5.10, p<0.0001; OR 16.19, p<0.0001), that those whose fathers had higher education were less likely to smoke than those whose fathers had only completed high school or less (OR 0.37, p = 0.0036), and for every increase in 100,000Rp of monthly pocket money in Indonesian Rupiah (IDR), youth were more likely to smoke (OR 1.22, p = 0.0042). Schooling and environment, maternal education, maternal employment, and pocket money impacted youths’ knowledge of smoking risk. Rural island youth enrolled in alternative schooling were less likely to ii have sufficient knowledge of smoking risks compared to urban youth enrolled in formal schooling (OR 0.51, p = 0.050), those whose mothers had completed higher education were more likely to report sufficient knowledge of smoking risks compared to youth whose mothers had only completed high school or less (OR 2.70, p = 0.0029), those whose mothers were employed were more likely to report insufficient knowledge of smoking risks compared to youth whose mothers were unemployed (OR 0.58, p = 0.0084), and for every 100,000Rp (IDR) increase in pocket money available (per month), youth were more likely to exhibit increasing knowledge of smoking risks (OR 1.22, p = 0.0029). Finally, age, sex, friend group smoking status, and paternal education were associated with youths’ perception of smoking behaviors and tobacco use. Youth aged 17-18 were more likely to view smoking behaviors and tobacco use favorably compared to youth aged 13-14 (OR 2.31, p = 0.0368), females were more likely than males to view smoking unfavorably (OR 0.27, p = 0.0003), those who had some friends or indicated that most or all of their friends smoked were more likely to view smoking favorably (OR 3.68, p = 0.0030; OR 4.18, p = 0.0043), and those whose fathers had completed a Bachelor’s degree or more were less likely to view smoking favorably (OR 0.20, p = 0.0123). Additionally, current or former smokers were more likely to have insufficient knowledge of smoking risk compared to those who were non-smokers (OR 0.39, p = 0.0002) and were also more likely than non-smokers to view smoking behaviors and tobacco use favorably (OR smokers 6.54, p<0.0001). Household access to an internet-connecting technological device (INT-D) or a television was not shown to impact smoking behavior between rural island and urban street children communities sampled. Considering that more than 225,000 Indonesians die each year from cigarette-related illnesses (14.7% of all deaths) and that the percentage of adult smokers in Indonesia is among the highest in the world at over 61.4 million, understanding the motivations that encourage youth to smoke and recording their perceptions of tobacco risk are vitally important to develop prevention programming. iii Research Questions: What are the motivations for smoking, perceptions of cigarette use, and knowledge about associated health risks of cigarette use among Indonesian teenagers (13 – 18 years in age) in South Sulawesi, Indonesia? Is there a relationship between school enrollment or access to technology and smoking perception and cigarette use among these Indonesian youth? Research Methodology: Quantitative knowledge, attitude, and practice (KAP) surveying in urban schools in Makassar and in alternative school environmental (unenrolled populations in rural island communities and in urban street children communities) among youth 13 – 18 years in age. iv Acknowledgements. This thesis would not have been possible without the incredible support of Global Environmental Health LAB, Inc., and Hasanuddin Centre for Tobacco Control and Non-communicable Disease Prevention (Hasanuddin CONTACT) at Hasanuddin University in Makassar. Furthermore, funding provided by the Yale School of Public Health, the Social and Behavioral Science Department through the Social and Behavioral Science Research Award, and the Council on Southeast Asia Studies at Yale were much appreciated and necessary for the completion of this project.

    Original Article A survey of smoking habits among university students and its susceptibility among various diseases Muhammad Osama Yaseen1*, Arifa Saif 1, Tahir Mehmood Khan1,2, Amal K Suleiman3 1 Institute of Pharmaceutical Sciences, University of Veterinary and Animal Sciences, Lahore, Pakistan. 2 School of Pharmacy, Monash University, Bandar Sunway, Selangor, Malaysia. 3 College of Pharmacy, University of Almaarefa, Riyadh, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Abstract Purpose: Smoking is the leading cause of death worldwide. Based on recent estimates, there are nearly 1.1 billion smokers worldwide. Smoking habits, perceptions, and beliefs have not been adequately conducted in low-middle income countries (LMICs) like Pakistan, and proper policies have not been made by the government of Pakistan, especially in Health & Education departments. Our study aimed to explore smoking habits among university students and their knowledge, attitude & perception about diseases caused by smoking. Method: A cross- sectional, quantitative study was planned among university students in Pakistan using a structured questionnaire. Statistical methods such as chi-square and sample t-test were performed using SPSS version 21®. Results: Our investigation discovered around 80% non-smokers and 20% of smokers. Anxiety/stress and social influence were the most chosen options with 64.35% and 46.15% votes respectively. 35.4 % of students think they might suffer a smoking-related health issue. The majority of the students professed to have been cautioned in university premises about harms of smoking. 18.96% of people responded that they would continue smoking even knowing the consequences. Rehabilitation centers, pharmacies, and hospitals were the most convenient places for cigarette addicted people to get proper treatment and counseling.

Precisely in 2012 the Australian Government imposed a policy on packaging basic ingredients of tobacco, in this case cigarettes. This study discusses to find and find out the reasons "the Australian Government applies a policy of packaging plain tobacco". This research is an explanatory research using secondary data from various books, journals, reports, and online articles. The theory used in this research is the concept of protection and the concept of health security. The results of the study show the reasons the Australian government implements a plain tobacco packaging policy to protect and guarantee Australians and reduce cigarette consumption. Keywords: The Tobacco Plain Packaging Policy, Health Security, Australia. Pendahuluan Awal kemunculannya, tembakau digunakan sebagai salah satu ritual seperti untuk memuja dewa atau menggil roh disebagian besar suku yang berada di Amerika, selanjutnya menyebar ke bangsa Eropa yang saat itu sebagian dari para penjajah dan kemudian membawa tembakau menuju Eropa. Semenjak saat itu mulailah muncul kebiasaan merokok dikalangan bangsawan Eropa dan merubah gaya merokok dengan cara dipadatkan kedalam pipa, yang lebih dikenal dengan cerutu dan dengan berkembangnya jaman bermunculan pabrik yang memproduksi rokok.

Maximizing Tobacco Tax Reform in Myanmar 2017 1 Executive Summary Myanmar has attempted to reform tobacco tax policy since before 2011. In eect since 2016, the current Union Tax Law introduced a Specic Goods Tax to tackle the problem of transfer pricing. However, in comparison with the international best practices and the WHO FCTC Article 6 Guidelines, the tobacco tax system in Myanmar has inherent weakness that lead to tax avoidance by the industry. This is because the system is not the simplest due to dierent tax tiers while the tobacco rates as a percentage of retail price are low compared with other ASEAN countries. Therefore, the Southeast Asia Tobacco Control Alliance (SEATCA) would like to recommend Myanmar government to: Develop a long-term plan / road map to strengthen tobacco tax policy so that the government has a clear direction in obtaining higher revenue and reduce smoking prevalence in the country

ABSTRAK Latar belakang: Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) merupakan sebuah pandemi global yang menyebar cepat ke seluruh dunia. Penelitian menunjukan perokok memiliki risiko lebih besar untuk mengalami manifestasi berat dan kematian akibat COVID-19 dibandingkan bukan perokok. Namun, studi yang tersedia saat ini masih terbatas. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis hubungan antara prevalensi perokok tembakau dewasa dengan mortalitas COVID-19 di seluruh dunia. Metode: studi ini merupakan studi korelasi, analisa regresi linier dilakukan untuk menganalisa korelasi antara data prevalensi merokok pada orang dewasa dengan Case Fatality Ratio (CFR) COVID-19 pada negara-negara yang memiliki 1000 kasus COVID-19 terkonfirmasi pada 3 Mei 2020. Hasil: tujuh puluh lima negara dilibatkan dalam penelitian ini dengan median CFR sebesar 3,66%. Tidak ada hubungan antara prevalensi perokok pria atau prevalensi perokok wanita dengan angka CFR COVID-19 di seluruh dunia. Analisis multivariat menunjukkan p-value = 0,823 untuk prevalensi perokok pria dan p-value 0,910 untuk prevalensi perokok wanita. Namun, pada negara berpendapatan menengah ke bawah, terdapat korelasi positif antara prevalensi pria dewasa yang merokok dengan tingkat kematian COVID-19. Didapatkan pada setiap peningkatan satu poin persentase prevalensi perokok pria dewasa mengakibatkan peningkatan CFR COVID-19 0,08% (95% CI 0,00% -0,15%, p = 0,041).

In order to strike a balance between trade and health, policy coherence at the country level is the key to achieve it. The first step towards policy coherence is the development of a good understanding of the issues, based on the analysis of the situation from both a health and trade perspective. This paper discusses on how to strike a balance between trade and health by referring to the latest plain packaging case which brought to WTO dispute settlement forum. After a long process, finally the Panel ruled in favor of the respondent, in this case Australia for their plain packaging policy. The Panel found that there is no alternative measure that can achieve the same objective – for public health which allows Australia to continue the implementation of their plain packaging policy. Keywords: International trade, health, policy Abstrak Globalisasi dan perkembangan perdagangan internasional pada barang maupun jasa mempengaruhi kesehatan manusia, dalam hal ini pengaruh dapat bersifat positif maupun negatif. Untuk dapat menyeimbangkan kepentingan perdagangan dan perlindungan kesehatan, koherensi kebijakan di tingkat negara memegang peranan yang penting.

Some evidence shows that teenage smokers gamble more than non-smokers. The aim of the study is to analyze the relationship between problem gambling and smoking among Czech adolescents. Methods: Data on 6,082 adolescents (50.1% boys and 49.9% girls) aged 15–19 years were collected as part of the ESPAD study in the Czech Republic in 2015. Logistic regression and linear regression models were used to test the hypothesis that the early onset of daily smoking increases the risk of problem gambling. Results: The age of initiation of daily smoking seems to be a more reliable marker of the risk of problem gambling than smoking status or intensity of smoking.

    Tegar Dwi Prakoso | Is It Safe To Use E-Cigarette As Alternative To Conventional Smoking? [ARTIKEL REVIEW] IS IT SAFE TO E-CIGARETTE SMOKING AS ALTERNATIVE SMOKING? Tegar Dwi Prakoso Faculty of Medicine, Lampung University Abstract E-cigarette or electronic cigarette is an electronic device that resembles a cigarette and can produce smoke as the result of evaporation of the liquid. Fluids used in the e-cigarette are generally composed of propyleneglycol, glycerol, distilled water, flavoring substances and nicotine. E-cigarette is claimed to have beneficial effects on health such as increased exercise tolerance and less coughing as the result of smoking on conventional cigarretes. However, although relatively safe, smoking remains detrimental to health. E-cigarette still contains nicotine as in conventional cigarettes that can cause addiction. So that the use of e-cigarettes on the public needs to be reevaluated.
