Characteristics of nicotine product use, perceptions of dependence, and passive exposure among first-year university students in Brazil
Experimentation and current use of nicotine products are high among incoming students at public and private universities in Brazil. Passive exposure to nicotine products is commonplace. Advanced communication tools are needed, particularly to emphasize the dangers of nicotine dependence. Being a legal drug, nicotine is often perceived as harmless, reinforcing the misconception that it can be used without consequences.
