A survey of a secondary school serving a small town and rural district in New Zealand revealed that 46 percent of the students, aged 12 to 18, were current cigarette smokers. The smoking habits of elder siblings and peers were closely related to subjects' smoking. Parental opposition to smoking, beliefs that smoking was bad for health and a degree of self-esteem appeared to have protective value. The key to prevention of cigarette smoking may lie in parent and early childhood education aimed at increasing awareness of the dangers of smoking, fostering a soical climate of opposition to smoking, and increasing the child's self-confidence.
一项针对新西兰一个小镇及农村地区一所中学的调查显示，在12至18岁的学生中，有46%的人目前正在吸烟。哥哥姐姐及同龄人的吸烟习惯与被调查者的吸烟行为密切相关。父母对吸烟的反对态度、认为吸烟有害健康的观念以及一定程度的自尊似乎具有保护作用。预防吸烟的关键可能在于针对家长和幼儿的教育，旨在提高对吸烟危害的认识、营造反对吸烟的社会氛围以及增强孩子的自信心。
