A survey of 599 college students was conducted in Andhra Pradesh, India, to formulate an anti-smoking policy for youth. There were 64.6% boys and 35.4% girls between 15 and 22 years, and 8.2% of students (n = 49, 48M + 1F) were smokers. It is a taboo for girls to smoke. There is no current anti-smoking policy and one is proposed based on the smoking survey results. The policy includes parental pressure to curb smoking, and a ban on (1) advertising of tobacco products, (2) smoking in public places and (3) teachers smoking in school. An increase in the price of cigarettes was approved by a majority of the students. The survey revealed a gap in the knowledge of students about the ill effects of smoking, which can be rectified by health education programs.
在印度安得拉邦对599名大学生进行了一项调查，以制定一项针对青少年的反吸烟政策。年龄在15至22岁之间的学生中，男生占64.6%，女生占35.4%，8.2%的学生（n = 49，48名男生 + 1名女生）吸烟。女孩吸烟是一种禁忌。目前没有反吸烟政策，根据吸烟调查结果提出了一项政策。该政策包括家长施加压力以抑制吸烟，以及禁止（1）烟草制品广告、（2）在公共场所吸烟和（3）教师在学校吸烟。大多数学生赞成提高香烟价格。调查揭示了学生在吸烟有害影响方面的知识差距，可通过健康教育项目加以纠正。
