“…Another possible reason for this unexpected association might stem from a more fundamental communication issue—students' lack of awareness about the extent of TFSP. There is evidence that students are often unaware of school rules and penalties associated with TFSP . Because our school‐level data were collected from school administrators, there could be discrepancies between how they perceive TFSP and how students do.…”

“…There is evidence that students are often unaware of school rules and penalties associated with TFSP. 43 Because our schoollevel data were collected from school administrators, there could be discrepancies between how they perceive TFSP and how students do. If students are oblivious to such policies, it is reasonable to expect they would have difficulty complying with them.…”

This study theoretically and methodologically guides researchers to test TFSP effectiveness in other states. Three strategic implications emerge: (1) schools should provide a consistent antismoking message in smoke-free environments; (2) schools should integrate TFSP into a comprehensive tobacco control initiative, including community-wide tobacco control programs and messages; and (3) the way a specific TFSP is promoted and communicated could determine how effective it is.

“… 13 In addition, some evidence underscores the importance of enforcing policies as students are often unaware of tobacco rules at school and associated punishments. 24 Thus students who observe teacher smoking could think there are no rules or that the existing rules are more permissive than they actually are.…”

ObjectiveLimited research has examined the association between smoking among schoolteachers and student smoking. This paper seeks to assess whether smoking visibility on school grounds among schoolteachers is associated with student smoking. We examine both smoking behaviour and the number of cigarettes consumed.MethodsWe use a school-based cross-sectional survey carried out by the Spanish Government’s Delegation for the National Plan on Drugs. A total of 27 503 students between 14 and 18 years of age completed an anonymous survey in 2013. Count data regressions were used to assess the association between observed teacher smoking and adolescent smoking behaviour.ResultsHigh levels of visibility of teacher smoking on school grounds increased the odds of being a smoker among students (OR=2.09 and OR=1.64, for the highest levels of visibility), but the impact on the quantity of cigarettes smoked, although positive, was not significant.ConclusionTeacher smoking on school grounds is associated with student smoking behaviour. Consequently, smoking policies designed to prevent adolescent smoking should address this important social environment.

“…Watching a teacher smoke every day, or almost every day, on school grounds, shows a greater correlation with smoking behaviour than in relation to a parent who smokes. The strength of the association is similar when pupils watch a teacher smoke for more than half the day, and lower when the pupils watch the teacher smoke for about half the day (3,38). Schools provide the ideal environment for preventive initiatives amongst children and adolescents.…”

Objective. The aim of this research was to establish the incidence of smoking habits and the level of nicotine dependence in education workers in the Central Bosnia Canton (CBC).Materials and Methods. The research was conducted in the 2017/2018 school year. It covered education workers in all elementary (N=53) and high schools (N=23), in the area of the CBC. A total of 857 subjects were included. For the purpose of this research a special questionnaire was designed that included information on smoking, how long people had smoked, age and gender, smoking habits, and a modified Fagerstrom test for assessment of nicotine dependence. Results. In relation to smoking status, the subjects were divided into two categories: 646 (75.38%) non-smokers and 211 (24.62%) of those who declared themselves to be active smokers. All subjects were considered in relation to four age groups. The average age of the subjects was 42.14 years, and the average age of the subjects who were smokers was 43.61 years. Of the total number of smokers (n=211), the number of those who believed that the consumption of cigarettes by staff members encourages pupils to smoke was 76 (36.01%). The largest number of subjects (746, 87%) believed that during their time in school or the school yard, pupils are in a situation where they are able to see educational workers smoking. The degree of nicotine dependence in education workers in the CBC was mostly mild (53.55%, N=113) and then moderate (44.54%, N=94) and severe (1.89%, N=4).Conclusion. There is a significant number of smokers (24.62%) amongst education workers in schools in the CBC. The level of nicotine dependence in education workers is most often mild (53.55%) then moderate (44.54%) and severe (1.89%).
