Abstract:

 Objective: There are many nicotine containing products on the market cigarette, hookah, cigar, e-cigarette, rolled tobacco, and disposable e-cigarette, and the number and variety of these products are increasing day by day. The fact that the age of starting nicotine containing products has been decreasing recently and that university students, who constitute a large proportion of young people, consume these products, shows that measures should be taken for young people and attention should be drawn to nicotine containing products in the market. Material and Method: Our study examined which nicotine containing products are consumed by the students of the Mersin Universitys Faculty of Pharmacy and their consumption habits of these products were investigated. Within the scope of our study, an online survey was applied to 246 students of Mersin Universitys Faculty of Pharmacy between 05.02.2024-24.05.2024 via Google Forms. The students of the Mersin Universitys Faculty of Pharmacy who took part in the survey were asked which nicotine containing product they used and how often they used it. Result and Discussion: Out of the 246 students who participated in the survey, 116 47.2 reported having used at least one nicotine containing product, while 130 52.8 stated that they had never used any nicotine containing products. The preferred nicotine containing products were reported as follows: cigarettes n69, hookah n27, rolling tobacco n20, disposable e-cigarettes n18, and e-cigarettes n11. In our study, a significant correlation was found between the variables X2115.694, p0.05. According to our study, students who use nicotine products are less likely than those who do not. The reasons why nicotine containing products are still consumed by university students include stress, liking the taste, habitual friend environment. It is thought that our study may be a source for the consumption habits of nicotine containing products by university students.

 Amaç: Piyasada, nikotin içerikli sigara, nargile, e-sigara, puro, sarma tütün ve tek dolumlu e-sigara çok fazla ürün bulunmaktadır ve bu ürünlerin sayısı ve çeşidi her geçen gün artmaktadır. Son zamanlarda nikotin içerikli ürünlere başlama yaşının giderek düşmesi ve özellikle gençlerin büyük bir kısmını oluşturan üniversite öğrencilerinin bu ürünleri tüketmesi, gençlere yönelik tedbirler oluşturulmasının ve piyasada yer alan nikotin içerikli ürünlere dikkat çekilmesi gerektiğini göstermektedir. Gereç ve Yöntem: Çalışmamızda Mersin Üniversitesi Eczacılık Fakültesi öğrencilerinin nikotin içerikli hangi ürünleri tükettikleri ve bu ürünleri tüketim alışkanlıkları araştırılmıştır. Çalışmamız kapsamında 05.02.2024-24.05.2024 tarihleri arasında Mersin Üniversitesi Eczacılık Fakültesi öğrencilerinden 246 kişiye Google Formlar üzerinden çevrimiçi bir anket uygulanılmıştır. Ankete katılan Mersin Üniversitesi Eczacılık Fakültesi öğrencilerine nikotin içerikli hangi ürünü ne kadar sıklıkla tükettikleri sorulmuştur. Sonuç ve Tartışma: Ankete katılan 246 öğrencinin 116sı 47.2 nikotin içerikli ürünlerden birini en az bir kez kullandığını ifade ederken, 130u 52.8 nikotin içerikli ürünlerden birini hiç kullanmadığını ifade etmiştir. Nikotin içerikli ürünlerin tercih edilme sırasında sigara n69 en yüksek orana sahip iken diğer ürünlerin nargile n27, sarma tütün n20, tek dolumlu e-sigara ürünleri n18 ve e-sigara n11 olduğu görülmektedir. Çalışmamızda değişkenler arasında arasında anlamlı bir ilişki olduğu tespit edilmiştir X2115.694, p0.05. Ayrıca çalışmamızda nikotin içerikli ürünleri tüketen öğrenci sayısının tüketmeyene oranla daha az olduğu görülmektedir. Nikotin içerikli ürünlerinin üniversite öğrencileri tarafından hala tüketiliyor olmasının nedenleri arasında stres, tadını sevme, alışkanlık, arkadaş ortamı gibi sebepler sayılmaktadır. Çalışmamızın üniversite öğrencilerinin nikotin içerikli ürünleri tüketim alışkanlıklarına bir kaynak oluşturabileceği düşünülmektedir.
