Insights into youth smoking initiation in Serbia (2024)
Insights into youth smoking initiation in Serbia (2024)
This study aims to analyze smoking initiation determinants among young people in Serbia, focusing on price and non-price tobacco control measures, social and family influences, and the impact of the educational environment and health behaviour programs. Insights into youth smoking initiation are significant for the implementation of tobacco control policies in Serbia because 15.1 percent of youth aged 13-16 have smoked cigarettes at least once during their lives. Since the average age at which young people in Serbia try cigarettes for the first time is 12, tobacco control policies need to be improved to have a greater impact on young people and additional health and educational programs on the harmful effects of tobacco use need to be implemented.
