Predictors of high tobacco use prevalence among adults in Autonomous Province of Vojvodina, Serbia
Factors contributing to the high prevalence of tobacco smoking in APV, Serbia, include younger age, rural residence, lower education, employment status, lower socioeconomic status, poorer health self-assessment, higher BMI (excluding women), e-cigarette use, tobacco exposure, alcohol consumption, and lower physical activity (excluding men). These findings underscore the need for targeted interventions, such as the efficacy of local inspection services and monitoring plans, to support policy measures aimed at addressing tobacco use in the region.
