“…These views were also expressed in other studies,[8–10] which revealed that all users did not want to continue the habit and they held a positive attitude toward quitting, therefore, motivation on the part of family, friends, and close ones could help the user to come out of this habit.…”

“…These findings have also been seen in studies from related areas. [810161819] Knowledge regarding the harmful effects of substance use is considerably high among the users, particularly for licit ones such as tobacco, alcohol, and cannabis. Researchers in related studies have found similar results[151620–23] where the users are not deprived of the knowledge regarding the consequences of consumption of substances.…”

Background:Is knowledge regarding the consequences of substance use among adolescents enough to prevent them from initiating and continuing its use, is a question that needs to be clarified further?Objective:To assess the knowledge regarding harm of use and to obtain information about attitudes among high school students. Also, to discover the opinion of substance use held by users.Materials and Methods:This was a population based cross-sectional study conducted in two high schools of West Bengal, India, among 416 students, in classes VIII, IX, and X, with no interventions. Primary outcome measurements were substance use: knowledge regarding harm, attitude, and opinion. Following this proportions and the chi-square test were used for statistical analysis.Results:Out of 416 students, 52 (12.5%) used or abused any one of the substances irrespective of time and frequency in lifetime; 26 (15.1 %) were among the urban students and 26 (10.7 %) were among their rural counterparts. More than two-thirds (73.07%) of the respondents expressed a desire to quit substance use and 57.69% had tried to stop. ‘Easy availability’ and ‘relief from tension’ were the most frequent reasons for continuation of substance use. Level of knowledge on harmfulness of substance use among students was very high (urban — -84.6% and rural — 61.5%) and they stated media as the most frequent source of information. Users were successful in influencing their peers into taking up this habit (urban — 15.4% and rural — 26.9%).Conclusions:Inspite of being aware of the harmful effects of substance use, adolescents take up this habit. This requires comprehensive prevention and control programs in schools and the community, targeted toward adolescents and their parents and other family members. Effective measures are required to encourage shaping the attitude of school children toward self-confidence and adequacy, as also to prevent risk behavior among adolescents.

“…These findings provide evidence for the operation of self-selection and peer-influence processes on adolescent smoking behaviors [ 48 , 49 ]. Many adolescents also reported smoking cigarettes to escape boredom [ 50 ], relieve stress [ 51 ], and for sensation seeking purposes [ 52 ]. These connotations are strongly reinforced among adolescents by the tobacco industry through targeted advertising and mass media campaigns [ 21 , 26 , 53 ].…”

BackgroundCigarette smoking is the leading cause of preventable death worldwide. Tobacco use and secondhand-tobacco smoke (SHS) exposure are classified as a pediatric disease. In Mexico, the prevalence of smoking has decreased among adults but paradoxically increased among adolescents, particularly among young females. This study was designed to determine the association between adolescents’ smoking experiences (smoking behaviors and second hand smoke [SHS] exposure), family structure, parental smoking and socio-economic status (SES) in Ciudad Juárez, Mexico.MethodsThis is a cross-sectional, population-based study. Data was collected from sixth-grade students (N = 506) attending school in Ciudad Juárez, Mexico. Descriptive analyses were conducted. The relationship between key outcome variables (adolescents smoking and SHS exposure) and independent variables (family structure, parental smoking, and SES level) were examined. Adjusted odds ratios were calculated. Multiple logistic regression analysis was performed while controlling for possible confounders (i.e. gender and age).ResultsThe overall prevalence of ever/lifetime smoking and SHS exposure at home was 29.6 and 41.1 %, respectively. Results of the logistic regression analysis show that being a member of a non-intact family [(OR = 2.20; 95 % CI = 1.21–3.90) and (OR = 2.45; 95 % CI = 1.19-4.10) respectively], having parents who smoke [(OR = 4.41; 95 % CI = 2.15–5.46) and (OR = 4.95; 95 % CI = 2.25-7.12) respectively], and living in low SES setting [(OR = 1.73; 95 % CI = 1.43–3.30) and (OR = 1.99; 95 % CI = 1.16-4.00) respectively] are significantly associated with ever smoking and SHS exposure at home among sixth grade students.ConclusionsThe findings of our study show that tobacco use and SHS exposure are strongly associated with adolescents living in low SES, non-intact households that have parents that smoke. To be effective, tobacco strategies specifically tailored for this particularly vulnerable group of adolescents would require a comprehensive, multi-faceted approach centered on prevention, cessation and protection.

“…En el ámbito de una población general de jóvenes que acuden a centros de juventud locales, sin sesgos socioeconómicos o educativos, Franco et al comunican una prevalencia del 44% de fumadores, un escaso deseo de abandonar el tabaco (23%) y la coincidencia del tabaquismo con consumo de alcohol de fin de semana (59%). La mayoría de fumadores desconocía los recursos para el tratamiento del tabaquismo 36 . En otro ámbito de juventud, la de universitarios que participan de forma activa en las propuestas deportivas de la universidad, Nerín et al detectan una prevalencia de tabaquismo algo más baja (30.3%) respecto al grupo de Franco 37 .…”
