Description

Objective: We conducted a survey on the consciousness of heat-not-burn tobacco by pharmacy students to clarify their problems in future support of smoking cessation for heat-not-burn tobacco users as pharmacists.<br>Method: A survey was conducted for 220 pharmaceutical students who completed the practical training. Their consciousness about smoking was investigated using the KTSND.<br>Results: The recovery rate was 95.9% (211/220 students). Students were divided into the KTSND low score group (n = 30, 14.2%) or high score group (n = 181, 85.8%). Compared with the low score group, the high score group was reluctant about restricting the use of heat-not-burn tobacco at public institutions and checking the use of heat-not-burn tobacco by patients. However, both groups felt it necessary to support smoking cessation for heat-not-burn tobacco users.<br>Conclusion: Although pharmacy students consider it necessary to support smoking cessation for heat-notburn tobacco users, students with a high social nicotine dependence may be reluctant to provide smoking cessation support.
