This fact sheet presents data from the Global Youth Tobacco Survey conducted in Cheboksary in 2015 by the Research Pulmonology Institute. The survey involved 1,404 students aged 13-15 years, with 1,177 aged 13-15; the overall response rate was 89.1%. Data are nationally representative and weighted.

Key Findings:

• Tobacco Use: 10.9% of students used any tobacco products, with 5.5% smoking cigarettes and 3.0% using smokeless tobacco currently. Overall, 9.3% used tobacco.
• Electronic Cigarettes: 4.1% of students used electronic cigarettes in the past 30 days.
• Smoking Cessation: Over 60% of current smokers tried to quit in the past 12 months.
• Secondhand Smoke Exposure: 28.5% were exposed to tobacco smoke at home, and 33.8% in enclosed public places.
• Media and Awareness: High awareness of anti-tobacco messages (e.g., 74.2% thought smoking is harmful to others), and most students (92.7%) support prohibiting smoking in public places.
• Knowledge and Attitudes: 69-78% of students were taught about tobacco dangers in school, and attitudes favored smoke-free environments. Students reported high susceptibility to tobacco marketing in some cases.

The survey helps track tobacco control indicators and supports WHO FCTC obligations, with data spanning demographics like boys and girls.
