  Karadeniz, Havva; Elik, Burak

  Addictions that concern public health and can be seen widely at all ages are an important public health problem. While tobacco addiction is widespread in society, behavioral addictions are also seen at undeniable rates; increasing substance addictions disrupt public health and functioning with their consequences. Determining the risk factors and prevalence of addictions is of great importance for combating and preventing addictions. Knowing the prevalence and risk factors of addictions can be used to guide the policies to be developed. Since addictions usually start at a young age, parents and teachers should be conscious and informed, and trainings and seminars should be held to create conscious awareness and ensure that they are the leaders in taking precautions against addictions. Addictions can be combated by establishing student communities. In this study, the prevalence of tobacco, substance and behavioral addictions and the problems they cause will be presented.
