The aim of this study is to evaluate the rate of smoker adolescents in Zaghouan, to seek for the smoking reasons, the used arguments, recording to them, to stop, and show their knowledge about prevention.
A prospective study included 266 teenagers scolarised: 194 boys and 72 girls (aged from 12 to 16 years) from 3 colleges located in Zaghouan during 2006. A questionnaire was drawn up on these adolescents. It contains three parts: tabagic habits of smoking teenagers, the reasons of smoking and information about prevention.
Twenty six percents of students are smokers, this percentage increases with the scholar level. They have parents' authorization in 18% of cases and have at least one smoker in their environment in 74% of cases. From whose who have tried tobacco, 65% became smokers. The most invoked causes are calming character of cigarettes and the pleasure to smoke. The first cigarette is smoked just for curiosity. The middle age of smoking initiation is 12 years. Twenty three percents of smoking students have tried to stop. The reasons are the dangerous character for health and the cost of tobacco. Adolescents prefer to use shocking pictures to self-sensitize (66%). Some pupils suggest calling smoker persons who are victims of tobacco to talk about their experiences.
Adolescents' smoking is a Public Health priority in Tunisia. The rate of smoking, its cost and its bad health risks encourage us to make preventions, especially the education and information for children and help adolescents to stop smoking.
本研究的目的是评估扎古安吸烟青少年的比例，探寻吸烟原因、所使用的论据，记录这些情况，促使他们戒烟，并了解他们关于预防的知识。
一项前瞻性研究纳入了266名在校青少年：2006年期间来自扎古安3所学校的194名男生和72名女生（年龄在12至16岁之间）。针对这些青少年编制了一份问卷。问卷包含三个部分：吸烟青少年的烟草使用习惯、吸烟原因以及预防信息。
26%的学生吸烟，这一比例随学业水平升高而增加。他们中18%的情况有家长许可，74%的情况其周围环境中至少有一名吸烟者。在那些尝试过烟草的人中，65%成为了吸烟者。最常提及的原因是香烟的舒缓作用和吸烟的快感。第一支烟仅仅是出于好奇而吸。开始吸烟的平均年龄是12岁。23%的吸烟学生曾试图戒烟。原因是对健康的危害和烟草成本。青少年更倾向于使用令人震惊的图片来自我警醒（66%）。一些学生建议召集吸烟受害者来讲述他们的经历。
青少年吸烟是突尼斯公共卫生的一个优先事项。吸烟率、成本及其对健康的不良风险促使我们进行预防，尤其是对儿童的教育和信息传播，并帮助青少年戒烟。
