Multivariate Analysis Being male were almost three times (AOR: 2.989, 95% CI: 2.197-4.066) more likely to become shisha smoker than female. Those who thought shisha was affordable and available were 2 times and more likely smoke shisha The odds of ever use shisha were higher among those who have parents, sibling and close friend smoking.
Discussions This study reported a total of 16.9% Jakarta students had ever tried shisha smoking at least one time in a life, another 5.7% were considered as current user (past 30 days). This rate is slightly higher than Vietnam’s study, prevalence of young adult (19-24 years old) who smoked shisha in past 30 days were 3% The relationship between shisha with parent’s smoking history is widely available. Parents smoking history were statistically significant different with shisha smoking (p<0.01). Friends also have significant influence to decision of smoking shisha (p<0.001). Limitation: Under reporting & only covered general type school owned by government.
Conclusions and Recommendations The prevalence for shisha smoking is quite high The stronger regulation to control non-cigarette smoking is needed Peer education program should be expanded to non-cigarette smoking Longitudinal research should be carried out to find out causal relationship of dual use and even triple use of tobacco smoking.
