ABSTRACT

Background: The demographic most prone to begin using tobacco products is teenagers. Most adult tobacco users started taking the drug while they were young or in their teens, as is now widely known. According to recent WHO surveys, schoolchildren in India are increasingly consuming tobacco products, and most of them start using the drugs at a young age. Adolescents who are late in their adolescence, from 16 to 19, are especially vulnerable to the negative consequences of maturing, peer pressure, popularity, and accessibility. Methodology: In order to assess the factors influencing tobacco chewing behaviour and the lifestyle experience among adolescents, this study carried out an extensive literature review. To ensure relevance and current information, the literature search focused on articles published after 2015 using the PubMed, Google Scholar, and MEDLINE databases. Studies that were gathered from the designated databases and had easily accessible information on tobacco chewing behaviour were included. Articles that were too short or repeated were not included. The goal was to make it simple to find pertinent literature that supported the topic of tobacco chewing behaviour among adolescent. Results: Seven out of 356 articles were selected which met the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Individual publications were scored based on a variety of criteria, including the degree of systematic errors, transferability, and precision. This review includes only seven articles that met the cut-off for medium and high quality. The study's objectives, study population, research topic, methodology, and results are the pertinent details taken from the papers.

Key words: Tabacco chewing behaviour, Adolescents, Factors affecting, Lifestyle experience.
