“…For example, tobacco company advertising in bars, clubs, or college campus social events increases the odds of 30-day young adult smoking by a factor of 1.75 (95% CI=1.47-2.08), 44 similar to the effect of exposure to smoking in the movies at the highest quartile (odds ratio=1.77).…”

Objective-This study assessed whether smoking in the movies was associated with smoking in young adults.Methods-A national web-enabled cross-sectional survey of 1528 young adults, aged 18-25, was performed between September and November 2005. Logistic regression and path analysis using probit regression were used to assess relationships between exposure to smoking in the movies and smoking behavior. Analysis was completed in December 2006.Results-Exposure to smoking in the movies predicted current smoking. The adjusted odds of current smoking increased by a factor of 1.21 for each quartile increase in exposure to smoking (p<0.01) in the movies, reaching 1.77 for the top exposure quartile. The unadjusted odds of established smoking (100+ cigarettes with current smoking) increased by 1.23 per quartile (p<0.001) of exposure, reaching 1.86 for the top quartile. This effect on established smoking was mediated by two factors related to smoking in the movies: positive expectations about smoking and exposure to friends and relatives who smoked, with positive expectations accounting for about two thirds of the effect. Conclusions-The association between smoking in the movies and young adult smoking behavior exhibited a dose-response relationship; the more a young adult was exposed to smoking in the movies, the more likely he or she would have smoked in the past 30 days or have become an established smoker.

“…The extensive literature on conventional cigarettes suggests environmental factors, such as advertising and price, can influence initiation, progression, and cessation of tobacco use (Carter, Phan, & Mills, 2013;Forster & Wolfson, 1998;McLaughlin, 2010;Warner, 2006;Wilson et al, 2012). Research also suggests that college students are targeted by tobacco companies, as this is the youngest population they can legally market to (Campaign for Tobacco-Free Kids, 2005;Katz & Lavac, 2002;Rigotti, Moran, & Wechsler, 2005). Given the limited research on e-cigarettes, surveillance of the point-of-purchase environment is needed.…”

“…Diante disto, há favorecimento de aquisição deste tipo de comportamento, frente à possibilidade de aceitação entre seus pares 3,41 . Segundo Rigotti e colaboradores 42 , alunos formandos estariam mais expostos à ambientes favorecedores de comportamento como consumo de álcool e tabaco. O maior tempo no ambiente universitário proporciona o contato com número superior de estudantes, o que aumenta as oportunidades de utilização destas substâncias.…”

Clustering of cardiovascular risk factors in college students: prevalence and comparison between graduation periods ABSTRACTThe clustering of several factors may be at greater risk to the individual than a single risk factor. The aim of this study was to compare the prevalence of clustering factors between senior students (402) and freshmen students (1,197). The risk factors observed were the insufficient physical activity, the behaviors of smoking, drinking and eating habits. The obesity, abdominal fat and high blood pressure were measured. The clustering of risk factor was categorized according to the frequency, 1 to 3; 4 to 6; 7 or more. The prevalences between the graduation periods were compared using the chi-square test. The prevalence of 1 to 3 clustered risk factors was higher among freshmen (39.3%) than senior students (25.1%) p <0.001. Prevalence of 4 and 6 clustered risk factors were more among senior students (67.7%) than freshmen (55.5%) p <0.001, as well as clustered of 7 or more risk factors (7.2% among senior students and 4.1% to freshmen) p <0.01. Therefore, the greatest number of clustered risk factors was found in senior students compared to freshmen.
