Prevalence of Smoking in Younger Adult Men in Bangladesh

Abstract

This study looks at the things that lead a group of young adult men in Bangladesh to smoke. We found that an alarming 74.4% of people were current smokers and 15.9% were former smokers. This is a very worrisome rate of smoking. A thorough questionnaire with 28 basic questions was given to people to find out how much they smoked. These shocking numbers show how important it is for Bangladesh's leaders and public health experts to act quickly. This study also shows that smokers are more likely to get a number of health problems, such as high blood pressure, diabetes, and lung diseases. The main goal of this study is to find out what percentage of men in this age group smoke. In addition to the obvious effects on the lungs, a lot of users said they had pain and changes in their weight. The study found that most smokers in this age group are between the ages of 18 and 30, and that they have been smoking on average for between 5 and 10 years. Bangladesh needs to take action right away to stop young adult men from smoking through preventative measures, educational efforts, and individualized anti-smoking programs. By looking at the long-term and short-term health effects of smoking, we can make big steps toward lowering the number of people who smoke and better public health across the country.
