“…Social learning theory suggests that learning (of an attitude or habit) occurs through observation, i.e. the parent's behaviour is normally copied by the children (32). This is consistent with the present study.…”

Tobacco smoking is an emerging problem among adolescents in the United Arab Emirates (UAE). This study aimed to measure the prevalence of current tobacco use and its associated factors among school students in Dubai Emirate and to determine the impact of an intervention programme on knowledge and attitudes towards tobacco use. A school-based intervention programme was carried out among 2457 students aged 10-20 years and data were collected with a self-administered questionnaire. Of the students, 14.6% were tobacco users, mostly cigarettes (11.2%) and waterpipes (2.2%). The most common self-reported reasons for smoking were for the experience (29.4%), for stress relief (22.5%) and because their peers smoked (21.9%). Stepwise logistic regression analysis showed that the predictors of tobacco use were: male, higher age, UAE national, higher school level, government school, low knowledge about tobacco and family history of smoking. There were significant improvements in knowledge and attitudes scores after the health education intervention programme. 1Primary Health Care, Dubai Health Authority, Dubai, United Arab Emirates (Correspondence to H.A. Obaid: haobaid@dha.gov.ae). Parmi les élèves interrogés, 14,6 % étaient des consommateurs de tabac, principalement de cigarettes (11,2 %) ou de pipes à eau (2,2 %). Les raisons les plus fréquentes motivant la consommation de tabac étaient le fait d'expérimenter (29,4 %), l'atténuation du stress (22,5 %) et la consommation de tabac par les pairs (21,9 %). L'analyse de régression logistique par étapes a démontré que les facteurs prédictifs du tabagisme étaient les suivants : être de sexe masculin, être plus âgé, avoir la nationalité émirienne, avoir un niveau scolaire plus élevé, fréquenter une école publique, avoir de faibles connaissances sur le tabac et venir d'une famille de fumeurs. Des améliorations notables ont été constatées dans les scores sur les connaissances et les attitudes après la mise en oeuvre du programme d'interventions d'éducation pour la santé.

“…We were not surprised to find high peer pressure to smoke had the strongest effect on current smokers as studies have shown adolescents' reports of their peers' tobacco use to mirror their own smoking habits (Silva et al, 2008). However, similar to Wen et al (2007) we do not know if adolescents choose to be friends with those who smoked or they were being influenced to pick up the habit by their friends who already smoked (Xiaozhong et al, 2007). In this study we also found that ex-smokers reported high peer pressure to smoke and also had the highest odds of having a best friend who smoked.…”

Background: To identify the prevalence of different stages of smoking and differences in associated risk factors. Materials and Methods: Thos longitudinal study started in February 2011 and the subjects were 2552 form one students aged between twelve to thirteen years of from 15 government secondary schools of Kinta, Perak. Data on demographic, parental, school and peer factors were collected using a self-administered questionnaire. We examined the effects of peer, school and parental factors on the five stages of smoking; never smokers, susceptible never smokers, experimenters, current smokers and ex-smokers, at baseline. Results: In the sample, 19.3% were susceptible never smokers, 5.5% were current smokers 6% were experimenters and 3.1% were ex-smokers. Gender, ethnicity, best friends' smoking status, high peer pressure, higher number of relatives who smoked and parental monitoring were found to be associated with smoking stages. Presence of parent-teen conflict was only associated with susceptible never smokers and experimenters whereas absence of home discussion on smoking hazards was associated with susceptible never smokers and current smokers. Conclusions: We identified variations in the factors associated with the different stages of smoking. Our results highlight that anti-smoking strategies should be tailored according to the different smoking stages.
