Current tobacco use and susceptibility to using tobaccoamong non-users of tobacco: A cross-sectional study amongschool-going adolescents in Sierra Leone

Our study suggests that one in four school-going adolescents currently uses tobacco, with nearly one in five non-users susceptible to using tobacco. Given the high prevalence of tobacco product use among adults in Sierra Leone, our findings highlight the need for policies and interventions to prevent tobacco use behavior among adolescents, aimed at averting tobacco use in adulthood.
