Korea centers for Disease Control and Prevention (KCDC) has been conducting the Korea Youth Risk Behavior Survey (KYRBS) to produce national tobacco smoking rate in youth since 2005. Statistics showed a change in tendency of tobacco smoking rates around 2016. KCDC performed an in-depth analysis of the trends and the associating factors among youths. To assess the trends, this study applied the Joinpoint regression analysis by annual percentage change and the Age-period-cohort (APC) analysis. In addition, youth tobacco use-associating factors were examined with respect to the social environmental ecosystem. Findings indicated that the current smoking rate for female youth students had a significant rebound between 2016-2017. APC analysis showed that this trend might be attributable to the period effect, any outcome associated with living during a specific period regardless of age. The factors related to individuals and microsystems were student performance in school, alcohol consumption, and the influence of peer smoking; factors, which were similar to previous study results. Among the variables in the social environmental ecosystem, the availability of tobacco products indicated a significant influence on tobacco use. These results provide significant scientific evidence for evaluating and establishing youth tobacco prevention policies. This study also recommended further studies to monitor youth risk behavior with tobacco product use including e-cigarettes and heated tobacco products.
