Between November 1985 and October 1986, attitudes and habits towards smoking were investigated among young and adult amateur athletes of the province of Pordenone, in the northeastern part of Italy. Seventy-five percent of the athletes had never smoked and 21% were current smokers. Compared with the general population, smokers were 1/3 fewer among males and 1/5 more among females; a higher number of ex-smokers was found in both sexes. The major determinants of smoking were the kind of sport in which the athletes were engaged (percentages of current smokers among athletes of endurance sports, football and other, less exhaustive, sports were respectively 3%, 23% and 20%) and having both parents who were themselves smokers. The detrimental effects of smoking on health were underestimated by the great majority of interviewed subjects. The present study supports the view that regular physical activity not only prevents youths from starting to smoke but also provides an incentive for stopping.
1985年11月至1986年10月期间，对意大利东北部波代诺内省的青年和成年业余运动员的吸烟态度和习惯进行了调查。75%的运动员从不吸烟，21%为当前吸烟者。与普通人群相比，男性吸烟者少三分之一，女性吸烟者多五分之一；两性中戒烟者的数量都较多。吸烟的主要决定因素是运动员从事的运动类型（耐力运动、足球和其他不太耗力运动的运动员中当前吸烟者的比例分别为3%、23%和20%）以及父母双方均为吸烟者。绝大多数受访对象低估了吸烟对健康的有害影响。本研究支持这样一种观点，即规律的体育活动不仅能防止年轻人开始吸烟，还能促使吸烟者戒烟。
