Background: Investigating tobacco use and associated factors is essential to set priorities and health promotion strategies among adolescents. Several studies examined the relationship between this behavior and the psychosocial salutogenic construct Sense of Coherence (SOC), but the evidence is limited to adolescents in high-income countries. This study aimed to analyze the association between tobacco use and SOC among Brazilian adolescent students. Methods: A cross-sectional school-based survey was conducted in 2018. Dependent variables were categorical binary (Yes/No): (1) Smoking experimentation (at least one puff in a lifetime); (2) Current smoking (at least one cigarette smoked in the last 30 days); (3) Daily cigarette smoking; and (4) Experimentation with hookah and/or other tobacco products (at least once in a lifetime). Independent variable SOC was assessed with the SOC-13 item scale. Independent-samples t -Test and Logistic regression were used in the statistical analyses. Potential confounders were identified using a Directed Acyclic Graph. Results: Participants were 3034 adolescents aged 13-19. The mean SOC scores were higher among adolescents who answered no to each of the dependent variables than among those who answered yes ( p Conclusion: An inverse relationship between SOC and tobacco use was observed among Brazilian adolescent students
