Book excerpt: Purpose: We intended to determine the prevalence, frequency, beliefs, and physician discussion rate of hookah among students. We concurrently aimed to survey physicians to determine their hookah knowledge and self-reported hookah discussion rate. Ultimately, we hoped to originate useful educational materials for both groups. Methods: We surveyed a random sample of undergraduate students at an urban university. We employed logistic regression modeling to ascertain variables associated with hookah users versus non-users and frequent hookah smokers versus rare smokers. Results: Out of 375 subjects, 13 (3.5%) were hookah naïve. 78 (20.8%) had never tried hookah while 284 (75.7%) smoked hookah. 64 students (22.6%) reported smoking hookah at least several times a month. 17 students (4.7%; 95% CI = 2.52%, 6.88%) reported a physician asking about hookah. In adjusted logistic regression models, individuals who believed hookah was healthier than cigarettes (OR = 2.193, 95% CI = 1.220, 3.942) and smoked marijuana (OR = 3.530, 95% CI = 1.837, 6.782) were significantly associated with being more likely to smoke hookah than non-users. Self-reported cigarette smoking (OR = 2.762, 95% CI = 1.430, 5.337) was the only variable associated with frequent hookah users. Out of 19 physicians surveyed, 1 (5.3%) reported asking patients about hookah, 6 (31.6%) never heard about hookah, and 18 (94.7%) expressed the desire to learn more. Conclusions: Smoking hookah is highly prevalent among college students partly because many do not know the health consequences. Simultaneously, many physicians do not know or ask about hookah. Useful educational resources will be valuable.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hookah smoking has become a popular form of tobacco use among college students. However, there is limited research exploring the risk factors associated with hookah use among this population. This study examined two risk factors, harm perceptions and beliefs about government evaluation of hookah, associated with current use of hookah among 18-24 year old college students, and looked at differences between current hookah users and non-users on cigarette smoking status, various demographic characteristics, and the two risk factors (harm perceptions and beliefs). Participants were 5,028 university students aged 18-24 (M age = 20.5 years; 59.6% female) from seven public universities within a larger university system. Students completed an online survey, which assessed their knowledge, beliefs, and behaviors related to hookah use. In this sample, 10.8% of participants reported current or past 30-day hookah use. There were differences between current hookah users and non-users on cigarette smoking status, gender, race/ethnicity, harm perceptions, as well as beliefs about government evaluation of hookah. Cigarette smokers, males, non-Hispanic White students, students reporting lower harm perceptions regarding hookah use, and those who believed the government evaluates hookah for safety were significantly more likely than their peers to be current hookah users. Results from a logistic regression analysis indicated that after controlling for cigarette smoking status, gender, and race/ethnicity, harm perceptions of hookah use, but not beliefs about government safety evaluation of hookah, was associated with an increased likelihood of current hookah use. Cigarette smoking was the strongest correlate of current hookah use; current cigarette smokers were seven times more likely than non-smokers to have used hookah in the past 30 days. Findings point to the necessity of educating college students, particularly cigarette smokers, about the dangers of hookah use. Additionally, tobacco prevention and cessation programs should be implemented in order to reduce initiation and continued use, and it is important to educate college student smokers about the dangers of dual use of this product with cigarettes.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: (1) To confirm the prevalence of hookah use among US college students. (2) To identify substances commonly smoked in hookahs and other substance use characteristics of hookah smokers. (3) Given the powerful influence of Facebook and its potential role in promoting behaviors, to assess the prevalence of hookah references on Facebook profiles. Cross sectional study. Two large US universities; www.Facebook.com. Participants: 307 Facebook profiles were coded and 216 of these profile owners completed an online survey. On average, participants were 18.8 years old (SD=0.7), female (54%), Caucasian (70.4%), and approximately half were from each university. Outcome measures: Lifetime and frequency of hookah use, substance smoked in hookah, cigarette and marijuana use, hookah references displayed on Facebook. 27.8% of participants endorsed hookah use; there were no significant differences between age, gender, race, or university for hookah use. Hookah users reported smoking tobacco (78%), hashish (12%) and both tobacco and marijuana/hashish (10%) in their hookah. Compared to non-hookah smokers, hookah smokers were more likely to report using cigarettes (OR=3.41,95%CI=1.2-9.64) and marijuana (OR=15.01,95%CI= 6.5-34.65). Hookah references were present on 5% of Facebook profiles. More than one quarter of college students smoke hookah. Most smoke tobacco in their hookah, and hookah smoking is associated with polysubstance use. Some hookah users reference this behavior on Facebook. Hookah may present new risks for nicotine addiction in this population.

Book excerpt: A Middle Eastern tradition, hookah smoking involves burning flavored tobacco heated by charcoal, creating smoke that is filtered through water and ingested through the mouth using a hose. Hookah lounges are increasingly locating around college campuses in the United States, and websites offering hookah paraphernalia target U.S. high school and college students. In two studies involving interviews with college-age hookah smokers and analysis of website marketing practices, the authors investigate consumer beliefs and attitudes toward hookah smoking and the way it is portrayed online. The findings indicate that it is a social phenomenon, with young people introducing peers to the practice and websites promoting shared consumption experiences. Contrary to medical evidence, young people believe smoking sweetened tobacco through a hookah is non-addictive and safer than cigarettes. Hookah lounges often are exempt from age restriction laws because many double as cafés and other eating establishments. Traditional tobacco warnings are not present in lounges or on websites. The findings highlight potential health dangers of hookah smoking and the need for education regarding this practice and demonstrate that regulatory oversight is needed.
Download or read book Hookah Smoking written by Merlyn Griffiths and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hookah smoking is growing in popularity among college-age students in the United States. Community-based, semistructured, in-depth interviews were conducted with 20 college-age individuals who had used a hookah to smoke tobacco. A structured analysis of responses was conducted and framed in terms of the health belief model's four main constructs. Although hookah smokers were aware of the potential severity of tobacco-related illnesses, they did not express a perceived susceptibility to those illnesses. To the extent that cues to action exist with respect to hookah smoking, they generally serve to promote a risky behavior that is perceived to be largely social in nature.
Download or read book A Geospatial Analysis of Public 4 Year Universities and Open Hookah Bars in the United States written by Angelina Salina Carrillo and published by . This book was released on 2020 with total page 30 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Online and in person, hookah use is promoted as a safer alternative to traditional methods of tobacco consumption. Hookah bars promote themselves as businesses with novel flavors and opportunities for social connection. Young people are particularly likely to be enticed by continual exposure to hookah bars. In a sample of public 4-year universities in the US, open hookah bars most commonly settled near campuses that had a high proportion of students living under the poverty line or students of color. Additionally, open hookah bars near universities were more likely to promote lower prices, making their business accessible to young people. The ways in which hookah bars are promoting themselves near universities is particularly concerning.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This Surgeon General's report returns to the topic of the health effects of involuntary exposure to tobacco smoke. The last comprehensive review of this evidence by the Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) was in the 1986 Surgeon General's report, The Health Consequences of Involuntary Smoking, published 20 years ago this year. This new report updates the evidence of the harmful effects of involuntary exposure to tobacco smoke. This large body of research findings is captured in an accompanying dynamic database that profiles key epidemiologic findings, and allows the evidence on health effects of exposure to tobacco smoke to be synthesized and updated (following the format of the 2004 report, The Health Consequences of Smoking). The database enables users to explore the data and studies supporting the conclusions in the report. The database is available on the Web site of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) at http://www.cdc.gov/tobacco.

Download or read book Understanding the Psychosocial Aspects of Waterpipe Smoking Among College Students written by Mary Pautler Martinasek and published by . This book was released on 2011 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Waterpipe tobacco smoking has migrated from being a custom of some cultures to becoming a staple around college campuses. The social nature and flavored tobacco encourage initiation in this tobacco naïve age group. The study was a sequential mixed method design, employing primary data collection and analysis of a random sample of university students who live on campus at a single university. The study involved observations (N=6), intercept interviews with smokers and nonsmokers (N=63), three focus groups (N=31), and an online survey (N=288). Findings were centered on the constructs of the Theory of Reasoned Action by Ajzen and Fishbein (1975), who propose there are specific precursors that lead to intention to perform a behavior. The data suggested that attitudes were more positively correlated with intention to smoke waterpipe tobacco than subjective norm. Attitude is influenced by outcome expectancies. The data suggest that positive outcome expectancies are influenced primarily by the social nature of hookah smoking and other perceived positive benefits. Negative health effects and family/culture were also influential, albeit to a lesser extent. Development of interventions focused on an attitudinal shift may help to decrease uptake and continuation of waterpipe tobacco smoking in this population.
