Abstract

Introduction: Waterpipe smoking (WPS) is gaining popularity worldwide, especially in the Middle East, and significantly affects oral health. Nicotine stomatitis (NS) is an inflammatory response of the palate to the heat and chemical irritation caused by tobacco. The high temperatures of hot beverages have been found to have a synergistic effect. This study investigated the association of NS among waterpipe smokers and hot beverage drinkers.

Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted in several public locations in Kuwait. Demographic data, smoking habits, and hot beverage intake were recorded using questionnaires. An oral examination was performed with informed consent, and the occurrence of NS was recorded. Data were analyzed using IBM SPSS statistics version 28.0 (IBM Inc., Chicago, IL, USA).

Results: Of the 211 participants, 55 subjects (26.1%) presented with NS. All the patients with NS drank hot beverages, while 37 (67.3%) patients with NS were waterpipe smokers and hot beverage drinkers. Smokers with NS smoked significantly more tobacco heads (Z= -2.606; p=0.009) and for more hours per day (Z= -2.222; p=0.026).

Conclusions: This study explored the association between WPS and NS in Kuwait. Waterpipe smokers and males were more likely to present with NS. Also, the number of tobacco heads and the number of hours of WPS were found to correlate with the presence of lesions. Effective strategies to reduce WPS need to be implemented. Further studies are recommended to investigate the cause-andeffect relationships.

尼古丁口腔炎与水烟之间的关系。

简介水烟（WPS）在全世界，尤其是中东地区越来越流行，并严重影响口腔健康。尼古丁口腔炎（NS）是上颚对烟草引起的热量和化学刺激的一种炎症反应。研究发现，热饮的高温会产生协同效应。本研究调查了水烟吸食者和热饮饮用者之间的NS关联：这项横断面研究在科威特的几个公共场所进行。通过问卷调查记录了人口统计学数据、吸烟习惯和热饮摄入量。在知情同意的情况下进行了口腔检查，并记录了 NS 的发生情况。数据使用 IBM SPSS 统计 28.0 版（IBM Inc：结果：在 211 名参与者中，55 人（26.1%）出现 NS。所有 NS 患者都喝热饮，37 名（67.3%）NS 患者既吸水烟又喝热饮。患有 NS 的吸烟者吸烟量明显增加（Z= -2.606；P=0.009），每天吸烟时间明显增加（Z= -2.222；P=0.026）：本研究探讨了科威特水烟和 NS 之间的关系。水烟吸烟者和男性更有可能出现 NS。此外，研究还发现烟头数量和 WPS 小时数与病变的出现有关。需要实施有效的策略来减少WPS。建议进一步开展研究，探讨因果关系。

期刊介绍： Tobacco Induced Diseases encompasses all aspects of research related to the prevention and control of tobacco use at a global level. Preventing diseases attributable to tobacco is only one aspect of the journal, whose overall scope is to provide a forum for the publication of research articles that can contribute to reducing the burden of tobacco induced diseases globally. To address this epidemic we believe that there must be an avenue for the publication of research/policy activities on tobacco control initiatives that may be very important at a regional and national level. This approach provides a very important "hands on" service to the tobacco control community at a global scale - as common problems have common solutions. Hence, we see ourselves as "connectors" within this global community. The journal hence encourages the submission of articles from all medical, biological and psychosocial disciplines, ranging from medical and dental clinicians, through health professionals to basic biomedical and clinical scientists.
