Two British boarding schools for boys with different disciplinary policies in respect of cigarette smoking were identified. Questionnaires were sent to the young "old boys" of each school to determine their present smoking habit and most were returned (school A 81%, school B 83%). Significantly more responders smoked who had been to the less strict school (school A 39%, school B 30%, p less than 0.05). These figures probably underestimate the smoking prevalence in the two complete groups. The results suggest that measures that reduce the exposure of an uncommitted adolescent to peer group smoking decrease the chances of tobacco dependence in adulthood.
我们确定了两所英国男子寄宿学校,它们在吸烟纪律政策方面有所不同。向每所学校的年轻“校友”发放了问卷,以确定他们目前的吸烟习惯,大多数问卷都得到了回复(学校A为81%,学校B为83%)。来自纪律较宽松学校(学校A)的回复者吸烟的比例显著更高(学校A为39%,学校B为30%,p<0.05)。这些数字可能低估了两个完整群体中的吸烟率。结果表明,减少未成瘾青少年接触同伴吸烟的措施会降低成年后烟草依赖的几率。
