Tobacco reduction on Facebook among 14-35-year-olds
INTRODUCTION: The possibility of successful smoking cessation is increased by early initiation. Therefore, promoting smoking cessation at early age (especially among 14-35-year-olds) has a key role in reducing tobacco use prevalence. Facebook is one of the most popular websites among adolescents and young adults which can be used for age-specific smoking cessation support.
AIM: Our research seeks to reveal the effects of a Facebook page on smoking habits, smoking cessation knowledge and attitudes among 14-35-year-olds.
METHOD: An online survey was conducted among the 3278 followers of the author's Facebook page. The questionnaire was completed by 332 people among 14-35-year-olds. We analysed demographic data, smoking habits, the usage frequency and duration of the Facebook page as well as changes in smoking habits, smoking cessation knowledge and attitudes.
RESULTS: The average age was 22.57 ± 5.08 years. The examined population consisted of 65% currently smokers, 12% former smokers and 23% non-smokers. Significantly more people reported a positive change in their smoking habits and smoking cessation attitudes among smokers who used the Facebook page more frequently and with longer duration (p<0.05). The habit and attitude changes were significantly higher among smokers who plan to quit smoking (p<0.01). Nevertheless, we also observed attitude changes between 12-25% among smokers who did not plan to quit. Among non-smokers, the positive attitude changes were significantly higher in the low-educated population who live in villages (p<0.01).
CONCLUSION: This Facebook page had a positive effect on smoking habits, smoking cessation knowledge and attitudes among 14-35-year-olds. The contents of the Facebook page could be used to prevent smoking and support smoking cessation among 14-35-year-olds. Orv Hetil. 2019; 160(6): 220-227.
