Prevalence and associated factors of waterpipe tobacco smoking in Japan.
Introduction: Despite the global increase in waterpipe tobacco use (hookah tobacco, shisha), its prevalence and characteristics are understudied in Japan. We aimed to investigate the prevalence and associated factors of waterpipe tobacco use in the Japanese population.
Methods: Data were obtained from the Japan 'Society and New Tobacco' Internet Survey, conducted in February 2023. Of the 34000 surveyed participants, a total of 31037 respondents (91.3%) aged 15-82 years were included. Current waterpipe tobacco smokers were defined as those reporting use 'occasionally' or 'almost every day' in the past 30 days. Inverse probability weighting was used to calculate waterpipe tobacco use, which approximated the Japanese national population. Logistic regression analyses were conducted to estimate the effect of waterpipe tobacco use, adjusted for sociodemographic variables.
Results: The prevalence of current and former waterpipe tobacco use in Japan was 1.4% and 3.9%, respectively, both with higher prevalence among men. Use was notably higher among individuals in their 20s, with prevalence rates of 4.4% among those aged 20-29 years. Waterpipe tobacco use among current tobacco product users was 2.5% for cigarette users, 4.7% for heated tobacco product users, and 32.5% for electronic cigarette users. Waterpipe tobacco use was more strongly associated with current e-cigarette (AOR=4.06; 95 % CI: 2.7-6.0) and heated tobacco product (HTP) use (AOR=2.44; 95 % CI: 1.9-3.2), while individuals with former combustible tobacco (AOR=3.12; 95 % CI: 2.4-4.1) or cannabis use (AOR=14.8; 95 % CI: 9.5-23.2) reported higher prevalence of current waterpipe use.
Conclusions: We found a high prevalence of waterpipe tobacco smoking among young adults and other tobacco product users in Japan. Public health initiatives should focus on educating the population about the risks associated with waterpipe tobacco use and developing policies to regulate its availability and marketing.
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.
