Sources of cigarettes for youth smokers in Malaysia: Findings from the National Health and Morbidity Survey (NHMS) 2022: Adolescents Health Survey (AHS)
The study found that a notably more significant proportion of adolescent smokers obtained their cigarettes from commercial vendors compared to their friends. These finding implies that increased law enforcement and health promotion programs are needed to lower the incidence of adolescent smoking in Malaysia.
