The Social Ecology Theory is used to understand the phenomenon by analysing the data collected from 392 blue-collar workers, through the mediated moderation approach in the structural equation model. The findings indicate that working conditions (\n                    <jats:italic>\u03b2<\/jats:italic>\n                    \u2009=\u20090.17;\n                    <jats:italic>p value<\/jats:italic>\n                    \u2009=\u20090.007), social norms and support\n                    <jats:italic>(\u03b2<\/jats:italic>\n                    \u2009=\u20090.14;\n                    <jats:italic>p value<\/jats:italic>\n                    \u2009=\u20090.011), personality (\n                    <jats:italic>\u03b2<\/jats:italic>\n                    \u2009=\u20090.09;\n                    <jats:italic>p value<\/jats:italic>\n                    \u2009=\u20090.014), and perceived effectiveness of SLT control policies (\n                    <jats:italic>\u03b2<\/jats:italic>\n                    = -0.13;\n                    <jats:italic>p value<\/jats:italic>\n                    \u2009=\u20090.002) significantly impact the SLT use of blue collar workers. However, knowledge about the health effects of SLT use and neighborhood disadvantages did not exhibit a significant influence. The theoretical modelling helped identify direct effects and underlying pathways through which environmental and psychological variables jointly shape tobacco behavior. Despite limitations inherent in self-reported data, this research provides actionable guidance for policymakers and organizations to develop targeted public health policies and workplace strategies to reduce SLT use among blue-collar workers.\n                  <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1038\/s41598-025-24275-2","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,11,18]],"date-time":"2025-11-18T13:48:31Z","timestamp":1763473711000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1007\/springer_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Unveiling the socio contextual triggers of smokeless tobacco use among blue collar workers: implications for workplace health and policy"],"prefix":"10.1038","volume":"15","author":[{"given":"Anupam","family":"Bandyopadhyay","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Subhajit","family":"Pahari","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Munmun Patra","family":"Pahari","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Sarika","family":"Keswani","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"297","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,11,18]]},"reference":[{"issue":"1","key":"24275_CR1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"e1","DOI":"10.1161\/CIR.0000000000001293","volume":"151","author":"CR Dennison Himmelfarb","year":"2025","unstructured":"Dennison Himmelfarb, C.
