Determination of Smoking Habits of the Leaders Who Served in Youth Camps

Abstract

This research was conducted to determine the smoking habits of the camp leaders who served in youth camps of the Ministry of Youth and Sports. The sample of this descriptive study consisted of 400 active camp leaders. A questionnaire, which includes items to determine demographic characteristics and smoking habits of the participants was used as a data collection tool. Data were expressed as number and percentage distributions, and Chi-square test was used in analysis of the data. The rate of smokers among the camp leaders was 20.8%. Of the camp leaders, 69.9% had started to smoke after age 18. Of the leaders, 55.4% was smoking 10 or less cigarettes per day, 20.5% was smoking 11-15 cigarettes per day, and 24.1% was smoking more than 15 cigarettes per day. There was a difference in the number of cigarettes smoked according to the age groups. The number of cigarettes smoked is higher among the leaders in the 24-28-year-old age group than of the other age groups (p<0.05). In the comparison of the number of cigarettes smoked and the working time in the youth camp, it was observed that the number of cigarettes smoked increases with the increased working time (p<0.05). There was no difference in the number of cigarettes smoked in terms of gender, graduation status, and marital status (p>0.05). Of the camp leaders, 77.1% expressed a desire to quit smoking, whereas 45.8% had never attempted to quit smoking. The desire to quit smoking was similar in all age groups, between male and female leaders, and according to marital status, or graduation status (p>0.05).
