Adolescents obtain cigarettes from both commercial and social sources. While the relationship between commercial access and adolescent smoking has been researched, no one has considered in detail whether rates of peer smoking affect cigarette availability. In two relatively deprived Scottish schools that differed in their pupil smoking rates, we assess pupil access to cigarettes. 896 13 and 15 year olds were surveyed, and 25 single-sex discussion groups held with a sub-sample of the 13 year olds. Smokers in both schools obtained cigarettes from shops, food vans and other pupils. However, pupils in the 'high' smoking school perceived greater access to both commercial and social sources, and had access to an active 'peer market'. These findings suggest that variations in cigarette access may contribute to school differences in pupil smoking rates, and that the relationship between access and adolescent smoking is circular, with greater availability increasing rates, and higher rates enhancing access.
青少年从商业和社交渠道获取香烟。虽然商业渠道与青少年吸烟之间的关系已得到研究，但没有人详细考虑过同伴吸烟率是否会影响香烟的可得性。在两所吸烟率不同的相对贫困的苏格兰学校，我们评估了学生获取香烟的情况。对896名13岁和15岁的学生进行了调查，并与13岁学生子样本进行了25个单性别讨论组访谈。两所学校的吸烟者都从商店、食品车和其他学生那里获取香烟。然而，吸烟率“高”的学校的学生认为从商业和社交渠道获取香烟的机会更多，并且有一个活跃的“同伴市场”。这些发现表明，获取香烟的差异可能导致学校间学生吸烟率的不同，而且获取与青少年吸烟之间存在循环关系，可得性增加会导致吸烟率上升，而较高的吸烟率又会增加获取机会。
