Abstract：
BACKGROUND: The related literature has primarily addressed cigarette smoking control. It seems that researchers have failed to explore the determinants of hookah smoking (HS) control. In an attempt to fill this gap, the present study explores experts\' views about aspects of HS control in Bandar Abbas, a city in the south of Iran.
METHODS: The present qualitative study, conducted in 2022 and 2023, used a content analysis. To this aim, 30 experts in tobacco prevention and control were invited to participate in the research. Twenty seven accepted the invitation. In-depth, semi-structured, and face-to-face interviews were held with the experts. A purposive sampling was used and the data collection continued until data saturation. The interviews lasted between 18 and 65 min. MAXQDA 10.0 was used for data management and analysis.
RESULTS: The expert interviewees had a mean age of 44.77 ± 6.57 years and a mean work experience of 18.6 ± 6.8 years. A total number of six main categories were extracted from the data, including usin influential figures to control HS, controlling HS by alternative activities, changing beliefs and attitudes toward HS, taking administrative and regulatory measures, and facilitating HS cessation.
CONCLUSIONS: This qualitative study explored the multifaceted ways people adopt to quit HS. Using influential figures to control hookah smoking, promoting alternative activities as a means of control, changing beliefs and attitudes, enforcing administrative regulations, and facilitating quit attempts all play an important role in tackling the prevalence of hookah smoking. These findings emphasize the importance of a comprehensive and multifaceted approach to integrate various interventions to effectively address hookah smoking behavior.

摘要：
背景：相关文献主要涉及吸烟控制。研究人员似乎未能探索水烟吸烟（HS）控制的决定因素。为了填补这一空白，本研究探讨了专家对阿巴斯港HS控制方面的看法，伊朗南部的一个城市。
方法：本定性研究，在2022年和2023年进行的，使用了内容分析。为了这个目标,邀请了30名烟草预防和控制专家参加研究。二十七人接受了邀请。深入,半结构化,并与专家进行了面对面的采访。使用有目的的采样，并继续收集数据直到数据饱和。采访持续了18至65分钟。MAXQDA10.0用于数据管理和分析。
结果：专家受访者的平均年龄为44.77±6.57岁，平均工作经验为18.6±6.8年。从数据中总共提取了六个主要类别，包括我们控制HS的有影响力的人物，通过替代活动控制HS，改变对HS的信念和态度，采取行政和监管措施，并促进HS停止。
结论：这项定性研究探索了人们采用的退出HS的多方面方式。利用有影响力的人物控制水烟吸烟，促进替代活动作为控制手段，改变信仰和态度，执行行政法规，和促进戒烟尝试都在解决水烟吸烟的流行方面发挥着重要作用。这些发现强调了综合和多方面的方法来整合各种干预措施以有效解决水烟吸烟行为的重要性。
