Tobacco use amongst the youth is a growing prevalent issue, with traditional tobacco products, such as the narguileh, being the main culprit. One survey indicated that the rise in tobacco use, through narguileh smoking amongst teenagers is increasing, due to its widespread acceptance within families and in society. This phenomenon is more prevalent in Lebanon, than other countries in the Middle East.
Numerous patterns have emerged from research conducted in Lebanon, pertaining to rising harmful addictions amongst children and adolescents, tied to family status.

With rising divorce rates in Lebanon, children whose families are separated or divorced, showcased higher addiction rates to smoking and alcohol consumption.
