Abstract

Context: Tobacco is a major public health problem. Low Socio Economic Status (SES) populations face greater barriers to quitting smoking that can be directly or indirectly linked to the experience of living in a low socioeconomic environment. This descriptive cross-sectional study aimed to assess the barriers to tobacco cessation in rural areas of the Ghaziabad district.

Material and methods: A total of 250 participants were included in the sample. A pretested questionnaire was used to assess the demographic variables, tobacco use, and the barriers they face in tobacco cessation.

Results: The majority of the participants (45%) indulged in smokeless tobacco (chewers). Most participants had used tobacco for over 10-15 years (32.3%). The majority of the people did not know that tobacco cessation services existed in hospitals and dental offices (77.7%).

Conclusion: There were many barriers to tobacco cessation in rural areas of the Ghaziabad district. Hence, concerted efforts and tailored strategies can help individuals in rural areas quit smoking.

Ghaziabad地区农村成年烟草使用者戒烟和停止吸烟的障碍-一项评估研究

背景：烟草是一个重大的公共卫生问题。低社会经济地位（SES）人群面临更大的戒烟障碍，这可能与生活在低社会经济环境中的经历直接或间接相关。本描述性横断面研究旨在评估Ghaziabad地区农村地区的戒烟障碍。材料与方法：共纳入250名参与者。使用预测问卷来评估人口统计变量、烟草使用情况以及他们在戒烟时面临的障碍。结果：大多数参与者（45%）沉迷于无烟烟草（咀嚼器）。大多数参与者使用烟草超过10-15年（32.3%）。大多数人不知道医院和牙科诊所有戒烟服务（77.7%）。结论：加济阿巴德县农村地区存在诸多戒烟障碍。因此，协调一致的努力和量身定制的策略可以帮助农村地区的个人戒烟。
