Smoking behaviour during adolescence is particularly important because the pattern of a person's tobacco consumption in later life usually is established in this period. According to recent data from KiGGS Wave 2, 7.4% of 11 to 17 year-old girls and 7.0% of boys of the same age smoke at least occasionally. The proportion of children and adolescents who smoke increases with age. Adolescents with high socioeconomic status smoke less frequently than their peers with medium or low socioeconomic status. Since the beginning of the first KiGGS study (2003-2006), the proportion of 11 to 17 year-olds who smoke fell from 21.4% to 12.4% (2009-2012) and has recently dropped to 7.2% (2014-2017). Despite considerable progress, however, there is still potential to improve tobacco prevention policy in Germany for example using taxation and advertising bans.
青少年时期的吸烟行为尤为重要，因为一个人成年后的烟草消费模式通常在这一时期就已形成。根据德国儿童青少年健康监测与促进项目（KiGGS）第二轮的最新数据，11至17岁的女孩中，7.4%至少偶尔吸烟，同龄男孩的这一比例为7.0%。吸烟的儿童和青少年比例随年龄增长而增加。社会经济地位高的青少年吸烟频率低于社会经济地位中等或低的同龄人。自德国儿童青少年健康监测与促进项目首次研究开始（2003 - 2006年）以来，11至17岁吸烟人群的比例从21.4%降至12.4%（2009 - 2012年），最近又降至7.2%（2014 - 2017年）。然而，尽管取得了显著进展，德国在烟草预防政策方面仍有改进空间，例如通过税收和广告禁令等方式。
