OBJETIVO: O tabagismo é uma das principais causas de enfermidades evitáveis e incapacidades prematuras. Nesse sentido, realizou-se estudo com o objetivo de medir a prevalência e estudar fatores de risco associados ao tabagismo nos adolescentes. MÉTODOS: A partir de um delineamento transversal de base populacional, estudou-se uma amostra representativa de 1.187 adolescentes de 10 a 19 anos, da zona urbana de Pelotas, sul do Brasil. Todos os adolescentes da amostra, de cada domicílio, foram entrevistados por meio de questionário pré-codificado, individual e confidencial. Utilizou-se o teste de Kaplan-Meier para análise da curva de sobrevida. RESULTADOS: A prevalência de tabagismo na amostra foi de 12,1% (IC95% 10,3%-14%). As prevalências foram similares para os sexos femininos e masculinos. Os fatores de risco para tabagismo na análise multivariada, por regressão logística, foram: maior idade, odds ratio (OR) de 28,7 (11,5-71,4), irmãos mais velhos fumantes, OR de 2,4 (1,5-3,8), três ou mais amigos fumantes, OR de 17,5 (8,8-34,8) e baixa escolaridade OR de 3,5 (1,5-8,0). CONCLUSÕES: A prevalência de tabagismo na adolescência mostrou-se alta, na cidade de Pelotas. Campanhas antitabágicas devem ser direcionadas à comunidade e à família tendo o adolescente como alvo. Medidas legais adotadas pelo governo são importantes para impedir o acesso dos adolescentes ao cigarro.

“…The family is one of the most important groups from this perspective, with adolescents who report high levels of family connectedness reporting lower levels of cigarette, alcohol, and marijuana use (Resnick et al, 1997). Smoking (Wang, Fitzhugh, Westerfield, & Eddy, 1995) and alcohol use (Bonnie & O'Connell, 2004) can be discouraged through healthy family norms and attitudes, as well as through healthy behaviour modeling. However, the nature of this influence depends entirely on the content of the norms, values, and behaviours in question: children of parents who smoke (Bauman, Carver, & Gleiter, 2001) and drink (Bonnie & O'Connell, 2004) are more likely to engage in these behaviours themselves.…”

“…These factors were chosen because they have been found to be significant correlates of smoking behavior among US and Canadian adolescents. [10][11][12][13][14][15][16] For familial influences, we examined current smoking by mothers, fathers, brothers, and sisters. For peer influences, we examined current smoking by male and female friends, boyfriends and girlfriends, and best friends and classmates, as well as perceived pressure from peers to smoke.…”

A B S T R A C TObjectives. This study assessed the prevalence and correlates of tobacco use among high school students in Buenos Aires, Argentina.Methods. Anonymous, self-administered questionnaires were given to 3909 8th and 11th graders in a stratified random sample of 49 public and private schools. The instrument included items from American surveys, translated and validated among Argentinean teens. Multiple logistic regression analysis was used to estimate possible effects on smoking behavior of environment, students' personal characteristics, and their knowledge, beliefs, and attitudes regarding smoking.Results. Of 8th and 11th graders, 20% and 43%, respectively, were classified as current smokers. Overall, 29% of males and 32% of females were current smokers. Students attending public schools were more likely to smoke than those in private schools (P < .05). Current smoking was associated with having a best friend who smokes, reporting that more than 50% of friends of the same sex smoke, having positive attitudes and beliefs toward smoking, and having a positive intention to smoke within the next year (all P < .001).Conclusions. Over 20% of the 8th graders in our sample were current smokers; prevention efforts must therefore start
