The early initiation of tobacco use, often during adolescence and young adulthood, contributes to the prevalence of smoking-related diseases later in life. Despite various anti-tobacco initiatives, the consumption of tobacco products continues to be widespread among young people.

This study aimed to assess the prevalence of tobacco use among youth, and identify key risk factors, in this vulnerable population.</p><p><strong>Methods: </strong>This cross-sectional study was conducted among 675 undergraduate students at five selected colleges in Delhi using a two-stage stratified random sampling method. Data were collected through a pre-designed, pre-tested, self-administered questionnaire, incorporating validated tobacco-related questions from the Global Adult Tobacco Survey (GATS).
