INTRODUCTION: this study aims to assess the prevalence of hookah use and its associated factors among pupils and students in the prefecture of Labé.
METHODS: a cross-sectional study was conducted from March 28 to April 30, 2022. Data were collected using a structured questionnaire administered to 1,043 participants in four secondary schools and two higher education institutions in the city of Labé. The data collected were entered into Excel before being analysed using SPSS version 26 software.
RESULTS: a total of 1,043 pupils and students participated in this study. Approximately 22.7% of participants, including 55.7% of pupils and 44.3% of students, reported having used shisha. The prevalence of regular use was 2.7%. In addition, the study revealed a higher prevalence among men than among women, with socio-cultural distinctions still evident in smoking habits. Analysis of differences in the distribution of the phenomenon studied showed more frequent consumption among men, people over the age of 18, and those living in urban areas. Belonging to a group of friends who were consumers was also significantly linked to hookah consumption, while attending public or private school had no influence. Conclusion: this study highlights the dangers of hookah smoking, which has become an increasing concern for younger generations.
