Emergence of chewing tobacco in the population of Oriental, Morocco: A comprehensive study of determinants and associated risks
Background
Chewing tobacco, an emerging form of smoking attracting attention because of its health damage. The current study aims to investigate chewing tobacco withing the population of Oujda, Morocco by elucidating specific parameters.
Methods
This descriptive cross-sectional study, which included volunteers (n = 838) from different age groups and from both sexes living in Oujda city the capital of eastern Morocco.

The average initiation age was found between 16 and 20 years, covering 56.4% of the sample. The multivariate analysis carried out as part of this study revealed significant associations between numerous key variables including sex, profession, age and the age of chewing initiation in relation to chewing tobacco consumption.

期刊介绍:
This review aims to compare approaches to medical ethics and bioethics in two forms, Anglo-Saxon (Ethics, Medicine and Public Health) and French (Ethique, Médecine et Politiques Publiques). Thus, in their native languages, the authors will present research on the legitimacy of the practice and appreciation of the consequences of acts towards patients as compared to the limits acceptable by the community, as illustrated by the democratic debate.
