“…Based on the results, teenagers are likely to believe that smoking looks more stylish, looks more mature, and they feel very welcome by their friends. This result supported by Kawabata, Orlandi, Takahashi (1992) that state smoking behavior proved to be the best predictor of smoking behavior based on the study in Japan among second grade students of a senior high school. Hypothesis 3 is supported.…”

“…Smoking behavior proved to be the best predictor of smoking behavior based on the study in Japan among second grade students of a senior high school. (Kawabata, Orlandi & Takahashi, 1992). Another study among school children aged 11 years in Hong Kong shows that their parents will not interfere about their smoking, living with family members who do smoke, and having a positive attitude towards smoking were all factors predictive of smoking.…”

This study aims to determine the role of peers' influence, attitude towards cigarette advertising, and attitude towards smoking behavior on teenagers' smoking intention.The respondents in this study were 150 students of high schools in Yogyakarta city. Quantitative data analysis methods used to test three hypotheses in this study is a Multiple Regression Analysis. Findings found that there are only two variables that have positive relation towards teenagers' smoking intention, i.e. peers' influences and attitude towards smoking behavior. Attitude towards cigarette advertising do not positively contribute for teenagers to have an intention to smoke.

“…Smoking among peers was the best predictor of smoking for white adolescents (accounting for 23.5% of the variance) but accounted for only 15% of the variance for young Hispanics, 9.6% of the variance for young Asians, and none of the variance for young blacks. A study in Japan among second grade students of a senior high school revealed that smoking behaviour proved to be the best predictor of smoking behaviour 3.5 years later 12. Attitudes towards men’s smoking, sex, and smoking in subjects’ families were also related.…”

Objectives-To determine the smoking prevalence and to examine the determinants of smoking behaviour among male adolescents in Semarang, Indonesia. Design-A random sample of schools in Semarang (population 1.5 million) was obtained using a stratified sampling procedure (strata based on type of school and district). A total of 149 schools were selected (response rate 72%). Within the schools 186 classes were selected, targeting the 11, 13, 15, and 17 year olds. An anonymous, self administered questionnaire was filled in by all students present at the day of the survey (total sample size 6276). Outcome measures-Smoking prevalence, exposure to family and peer smoking, and other variables that may be related to smoking. Logistic regression was used to examine the determinants of smoking behaviour. Only male students were included in the analysis. Results-Smoking increased dramatically between the ages of 11 and 17, from 8.2% to 38.7%. The variance explained by the regression model increased from 19.8% for 11 year olds to 53% for 17 year olds. The smoking behaviour of best friends was the most powerful determinant of smoking, and this was consistent across the age groups. Best friends' attitudes towards smoking and older brothers' smoking behaviour were also important determinants of smoking. Conclusions-Smoking prevalence among male adolescents in Semarang, Indonesia is high. EVective smoking prevention programmes should take into account the dominant influence of peers in the onset and maintenance of smoking behaviour. In general, school related items had a less important role in predicting smoking behaviour than expected.

“…In Japan, a few study on adolescent smoking have examined multiple factors simultaneously by using multivariate analyses and adjusted for confounding factors 11,12) . Moreover, no studies have attempted to use a risk factor approach and to show a dose-response relationship between the number of risk factors and smoking behavior among Japanese adolescents to our knowledge to date.…”

Ozasa 5The purpose of this study was to examine the relationships between risk factors and smoking status among high school students in Okinawa, Japan. We also examined if there is a doseresponse relation between the number of risk factors and smoking status. Self-reported questionnaires including smoking status and potential risk factors were conducted using a sample of 1,029 students of a public senior high school in Okinawa.The percentage of smokers was 40.0% for males and 10.6% for females, and it was significantly higher for males than females. As a result of multivariate analysis, we identified four significant risk factors; peer smoking, attitude of peer toward subject smoking, intention to smoke at the age 20, and alcohol drinking. The number of these risk factors was linearly associated with increased percentage of smokers, and a linear trend was significant for both gender students. Additionally, magnitude of risk for smoking among females became considerably great compared with those of males as the number of risk factors increased.In conclusion, this study was the first study in Japan to indicate a significant dose-response relationship between the number of risk factors and smoking status among high school students. We also found that females with many risk factors had extremely increased vulnerability to smoking compared to male counterpart. These findings may be useful to identify high-risk students who need more intensive smoking prevention programs and to develop the content of effective interventions.
