Assuming that adolescence--a high risk age as far as this behavior is concerned--is the crucial stage for prevention procedures, we don't know much about Italian adolescents' tobacco related behaviors, regardless of the fact that tobacco smoking is one of the most relevant problems of Public Health. The goal of this research has been assessing, through a multicentric study using an anonymous questionnaire, how spread is this behavior among 4135 students attending high school in five different areas of Northern Italy. The research points out a remarkable spreading of the phenomenon and suggests to anticipate prevention procedures during compulsory education, taking in account gender features.
假设青春期（就这种行为而言是一个高风险年龄）是预防措施的关键阶段，尽管吸烟是公共卫生领域最相关的问题之一，但我们对意大利青少年与烟草相关的行为知之甚少。本研究的目的是通过一项使用匿名问卷的多中心研究，评估在意大利北部五个不同地区的4135名高中生中这种行为的普及程度。研究指出了这一现象的显著蔓延，并建议在义务教育期间提前采取预防措施，同时考虑性别特征。
