Smoking behavior is primarily initiated and established during adolescence. Understanding the social context of smoking behavior among young people is required for developing strategies in preventing first tobacco use.
This study aimed at exploring the determinants of smoking behavior among senior secondary school students in Depok, Indonesia by identifying knowledge regarding smoking-related adverse outcomes, perception and attitude toward smoking behavior and tobacco control policy.
This study employed a cross-sectional design method. A total of 587 students from six senior secondary schools in Depok, Indonesia participated in this study. Univariate and multivariate statistical analyses were conducted to determine associations between cigarette smoking and independent variables.
Respondents ranged from 14 to 19 years old students. The proportion of current cigarette smokers were 99 students (17.0%) where the majority of the smokers were male (35.5%). The majority of the students, both smokers and non-smokers, were aware that cigarette smoking causes health problems. The present study found that attitudes that may lead to smoking behavior, in most cases, have been found to be significantly different between smokers and non-smokers. The perception of smoking behavior of smokers and non-smokers, such as smoking makes one more confident, cool, makes it easier to make friends, can relieve stress, symbolizes adulthood and masculinity, was statistically significant to smoking behavior.
The study highlights the importance of changing youths' image of cigarette smoking than merely educating students regarding the health hazards of smoking when they already possessed a good knowledge about those issues.
吸烟行为主要在青少年时期开始并形成。制定预防首次使用烟草的策略需要了解年轻人吸烟行为的社会背景。
本研究旨在通过确定与吸烟相关不良后果的知识、对吸烟行为和烟草控制政策的认知及态度，探索印度尼西亚德波市高中生吸烟行为的决定因素。
本研究采用横断面设计方法。印度尼西亚德波市六所高中的587名学生参与了本研究。进行单变量和多变量统计分析以确定吸烟与自变量之间的关联。
受访者为14至19岁的学生。当前吸烟者比例为99名学生（17.0%），其中大多数吸烟者为男性（35.5%）。大多数学生，无论吸烟者还是非吸烟者，都意识到吸烟会导致健康问题。本研究发现，在大多数情况下，可能导致吸烟行为的态度在吸烟者和非吸烟者之间存在显著差异。吸烟者和非吸烟者对吸烟行为的认知，如吸烟使人更自信、很酷、更容易交朋友、能缓解压力、象征成年和男子气概，对吸烟行为具有统计学意义。
该研究强调了改变年轻人对吸烟的印象的重要性，而不仅仅是在学生已经对这些问题有充分了解的情况下，向他们传授吸烟对健康的危害。
