Background of the Study
Tobacco use remains a significant public health challenge, contributing to non-communicable diseases such as lung cancer, cardiovascular diseases, and respiratory disorders. Despite global anti-smoking campaigns, tobacco consumption persists due to addiction, peer influence, and inadequate awareness about its health risks (WHO, 2024). In Nigeria, the National Tobacco Control Act seeks to regulate tobacco use, but smoking rates remain high, particularly among young adults (Adebayo & Salami, 2024).
In Kebbi State, awareness programs and smoking cessation initiatives have been introduced to educate the public on the dangers of tobacco use and provide support for quitting (Ibrahim & Yusuf, 2024). However, the effectiveness of these programs in reducing smoking prevalence and encouraging cessation remains uncertain. This study examines tobacco use awareness and the impact of smoking cessation programs in Kebbi State.
Statement of the Problem
Despite efforts to curb tobacco use, smoking remains prevalent in Kebbi State, particularly among young adults and middle-aged individuals. Many smokers are unaware of the full extent of tobacco-related health risks, while smoking cessation programs often face challenges related to accessibility and effectiveness (Ogunbanjo & Bello, 2024).
This study evaluates the level of tobacco use awareness in Kebbi State and assesses the effectiveness of smoking cessation programs in reducing tobacco consumption.
Objectives of the Study
- To assess the level of awareness about the health risks of tobacco use in Kebbi State.
- To evaluate the effectiveness of smoking cessation programs in helping smokers quit.
- To identify the challenges affecting smoking cessation efforts.
Research Questions
- What is the level of awareness about the health risks of tobacco use in Kebbi State?
- How effective are smoking cessation programs in helping smokers quit?
- What are the challenges affecting smoking cessation efforts?
Research Hypotheses
- Tobacco use awareness has no significant effect on smoking behavior.
- There is no significant relationship between smoking cessation programs and tobacco quitting rates.
- The effectiveness of smoking cessation programs is not significantly influenced by social or economic factors.
Scope and Limitations of the Study
This study focuses on smokers and non-smokers in Kebbi State, assessing awareness levels and smoking cessation program effectiveness. Limitations include variations in individual motivation to quit and external influences such as peer pressure.
Definitions of Terms
