Factors associated with tobacco use among Saudi Arabian youth: Application of the Theory of Planned Behavior
The high prevalence of tobacco use among Saudi Arabian youth, early initiation, and significant social influences highlight the need for comprehensive public health strategies. Targeted education, reduced tobacco accessibility, and programs to shift social norms and attitudes are essential. Addressing these factors can help prevent initiation and support cessation efforts among young people.
