The aim concerning this study was to find out the predominance and to identify the determinants associated with betel quid nibbling practice among the adolescent population. Betel ruminant food (BQ) chewing are old practices followed by an extensive distribution of the world’s population. These practices are native in larger parts of South and Southeast Asia and selected Western Pacific nations. The prevalence of these habits changes across regions, ages, common, cultural practice, and socioeconomic status groups.A cross-localized quantitative (primary) study was transported on 160 adolescents (10-19 age) in Nattalin Township in Myanmar using an interview-structured inquiry from February 2020 to May 2020. Using SPSS statistical software, plain descriptive enumerations (frequency and percentage, mean, middle and standard deviation) was done to characterize the participating youngsters' socio-demographic characteristics, information, attitudes and practices. A Chi-square test was acted to determine which determinants are statistically associated with betel chewing dresses among the study minors by considering the P-value (0.05) and importance at <0.05.The prevalence of betel quid biting adolescents was 28.2% of the total sample (n=160). The betel ruminant food chewer group contained more males than women. The earliest age of starting betel ruminant food chewing was 6 age old. Socio-demographic traits included age (equal or more than 15 age) (p<0.001), male (p<0.001), rural apartment (p=0.009), a working group (p<0.001), pocket money of in addition 10000 kyats (p<0.001), having betel ruminant food used family appendages (p=0.017) and betel quid used close companions (p<0.001) and the negative attitude (p=0.006) toward betel ruminant food chewing were the factors considerably associated with betel quid gnawing practice in this study. The different individual and social factors contained education, marital rank, parent's instruction, parent's occupation, bearing BQ chewing father and mother and the tangible factor that was a discussion about BQ chewing and fitness hazards within 6 months were not meaningful.The commonest reason for BQ chewing likely by the adolescents in this place study was peer pressure and the second common reason was interest. There is no association between the information and attitude levels of the adolescents. The need for forceful behavioural change health publicity programmes that emphasise the risks of betel quid chewing clothings for adolescents, as well as more effective anti-betel ruminant food chewing interventions, must perform nationally.
