The objective of the present study was to investigate smoking habits among 699 secondary school students, along with their attitudes toward smoking and their perceptions on the consequences of tobacco use in their health. Our results indicate that Greek adolescents begin to smoke mainly due to curiosity and for stress reasons. Furthermore, having friends who smoke is highly associated with smoking and intention for smoking. Likewise, paternal smoking seems to reinforce students' intention for smoking. On the contrary, parental disapproval of smoking leads to anti-smoking behavior. Adolescents' attitudes toward smoking are also related to a series of similar factors such as parental educational status, parental smoking, and parental disapproval of smoking, friends who smoke, and, finally, adolescents' age, smoking behavior, and intention for smoking. The impact of tobacco use in human health seems to be understood better by older students. All these factors must be taken into account for a successful implementation of an anti-smoking intervention program.
本研究的目的是调查699名中学生的吸烟习惯，以及他们对吸烟的态度和对吸烟对健康影响的认知。我们的结果表明，希腊青少年开始吸烟主要是出于好奇和压力。此外，有吸烟的朋友与吸烟及吸烟意愿高度相关。同样，父亲吸烟似乎会增强学生的吸烟意愿。相反，父母对吸烟的反对会导致反吸烟行为。青少年对吸烟的态度也与一系列类似因素有关，如父母的教育程度、父母吸烟情况、父母对吸烟的反对、吸烟的朋友，最后还有青少年的年龄、吸烟行为和吸烟意愿。年龄较大的学生似乎更能理解吸烟对人类健康的影响。为了成功实施反吸烟干预计划必须考虑到所有这些因素。
