A study in Italy found that smoking among young people is still common and created a questionnaire to assess smoking habits, e-cig, and heated tobacco use among university students.
The questionnaire, consisting of 84 items, underwent thorough validation by experts and was pilot tested with 114 students, revealing strong validity scores.
Results showed that a small percentage identified as smokers or former smokers, with a significant majority spending time with smokers and recognizing the important role of healthcare professionals in smoking prevention.
