The aim of this study is to describe incipient tobacco use and associated factors among adolescents from the rural zone of southwestern Bahia. It was based on data from the cross-sectional Adolescer research project among 390 adolescents conducted in 2015. Data were analyzed using frequency and chi-square measurements and Poisson regression with robust variance to estimate the prevalence ratios (PR) for incipient tobacco use in relation to the explanatory variables. Among the adolescents, 5.1% had smoked at some stage and 0.3% smoked regularly. The following variables were associated with incipient smoking: male gender (PR = 6.46); having had sexual intercourse at some stage in life (PR = 20.55); having parents who rarely or never understood their problems (PR=7.89); having 3 or more friends (PR = 0.10). Despite low incipient smoking or the prevalence of regular smoking, which indicate the adoption of a healthier lifestyle or greater autonomy and decision-making ability for non-smoking, it is acknowledged that there is no safe level of exposure to tobacco. The recommendation is that an intersectoral partnership between education and health be created to foster health promotion and disease prevention, with an emphasis on curtailing smoking habits.
本研究旨在描述巴伊亚州西南部农村地区青少年的初期烟草使用情况及相关因素。该研究基于2015年对390名青少年开展的横断面青少年研究项目的数据。使用频率和卡方测量以及具有稳健方差的泊松回归分析数据，以估计与解释变量相关的初期烟草使用的患病率比（PR）。在这些青少年中，5.1%在某个阶段吸烟，0.3%经常吸烟。以下变量与初期吸烟有关：男性（PR = 6.46）；在生活中的某个阶段有过性行为（PR = 20.55）；父母很少或从不理解他们的问题（PR = 7.89）；有3个或更多朋友（PR = 0.10）。尽管初期吸烟率或经常吸烟率较低，这表明采用了更健康的生活方式或在不吸烟方面有更大的自主性和决策能力，但人们认识到不存在安全的烟草接触水平。建议在教育和卫生部门之间建立跨部门伙伴关系，以促进健康促进和疾病预防，重点是减少吸烟习惯。
