Prevalence of tobacco use and passive exposure among adolescent athletes aged 13–14 years in Türkiye: A cross-sectional study
Tobacco use among adolescent athletes in Türkiye is minimal, yet passive smoking is a significant concern. Given the high prevalence of passive smoke exposure reported among adolescent athletes, particularly at home and in outdoor settings, further attention to reducing such exposure is warranted. The low prevalence of active tobacco use in this population suggests that preventive measures may be effective in maintaining low smoking rates as these adolescents age. Significantly lower prevalence of active smoking among the respondents could be attributed to their active engagement in sports and their young 13-14 years age.
