| Abstract | This research studied the causal factors affecting the choice of conventional and e-cigarette smoking among adolescent students in the central region of Thailand. The structural relationship analysis technique (Structural Equation Model) was used to study the causal factors affecting the choice of conventional smoking and e-cigarettes among adolescents in the central region. By using survey research methodology, questionnaires were collected from secondary school students who had smoking habits, including e-cigarettes and conventional cigarettes of the central region, covering 7 educational districts with 400 cases. The study included Ratchathewi District, Huay Kwang District, Muang Nonthaburi District, Muang Pathum Thani District, Mueang Sing Buri District, Mueang Chachoengsao District and Muang Prachinburi District.The results of this study found that overall factors had a significant positive influence on intentions of smoking. When considering the overview of the model, the causal factors after the research modification to determine the model fit, it was found that several values were acceptable. (Chi-square / df = 3.25, CFI = .966, NFI = .952, RMSEA = .075, SRMR = .047) which meet the criteria. Therefore, it can be said that the stakeholders in policy-making should consider this causal factors as the basic information for policy formulation in order to have a reduced intention effect for both types of smokers. |
