Daily cigarette smoking is associated with high morbidity and mortality in adults. This pattern of tobacco use is established during the early adolescence. Among adolescents, daily cigarette smoking is a strong predictor of illegal, addictive substance use. The prevalence of daily cigarette smoking is not known in Colombian adolescent middle-school students.
To assess smoking prevalence, daily cigarette smoking and associated factors among middle school-students in Bucaramanga, northeast Colombia.
An anonymous questionnaire concerning illegal and legal substance use was administered to a random sample of 2,586 students.
The group mean age was 13.0 years; 54.9% was male; 32.0% was in sixth grade, 31.7% in seventh, 25.2% in eighth and 11.1% in ninth grade, with 67.1% enrolled in public schools. The prevalence of daily cigarette smoking lasting the month prior to the questionnaire was 3.8% (95% CI 2.7-4.9). Logistic regression showed a significant association between being the best friend of a smoker or a drinker of alcohol (OR=3.71; 95% CI 1.71-8.04), having low academic performance perception (OR=3.83; 95% CI 1.0-14.2), and being older age (OR=1.4; 95% CI 1.2-1.8).
These data demonstrated that one in 26 middle-school student adolescents from Bucaramanga is an everyday smoker. The most important associated factor was being the best friend of a smoker or a drinker of alcohol.
成年人每日吸烟与高发病率和高死亡率相关。这种烟草使用模式在青春期早期就已形成。在青少年中，每日吸烟是非法成瘾物质使用的有力预测指标。哥伦比亚青少年中学生中每日吸烟的流行率尚不清楚。
评估哥伦比亚东北部布卡拉曼加市中学生的吸烟流行率、每日吸烟情况及相关因素。
对2586名学生的随机样本进行了一项关于非法和合法物质使用的匿名问卷调查。
样本组平均年龄为13.0岁；54.9%为男性；32.0%为六年级学生，31.7%为七年级，25.2%为八年级，11.1%为九年级，67.1%就读于公立学校。在问卷调查前一个月持续每日吸烟的流行率为3.8%（95%置信区间2.7 - 4.9）。逻辑回归显示，与吸烟者或饮酒者是最好的朋友（比值比=3.71；95%置信区间1.71 - 8.04）、对学业成绩感知较低（比值比=3.83；95%置信区间1.0 - 14.2）以及年龄较大（比值比=1.4；95%置信区间1.2 - 1.8）之间存在显著关联。
这些数据表明，布卡拉曼加市每26名中学生青少年中就有1人是日常吸烟者。最重要的相关因素是与吸烟者或饮酒者是最好的朋友。
