The prevalence of a wide range of risk-taking behaviour among high-school students in the Cape Peninsula, South Africa, was investigated. In this article, the results for cigarette smoking are presented. Cluster sampling techniques produced a sample of 7,340 students from 16 schools in the three major education departments. A self-administered questionnaire was completed in a normal school period. Estimates for each education department were weighted to produce an overall estimate. Of the students 18.1% indicated that they smoked at least 1 cigarette per day. Of these, 66.9% had tried to stop. Of those who did not smoke at least 1 cigarette per day, 41.2% had smoked previously and 3.6% intended to start smoking. There were different trends according to gender, standard, and language(s) spoken at home. Of note was the small percentage of Xhosa-speaking females who smoked. There is an urgent need for smoking prevention programmes in schools.
对南非开普半岛高中生中广泛存在的一系列冒险行为的流行情况进行了调查。在本文中，给出了吸烟情况的调查结果。采用整群抽样技术，从三个主要教育部门的16所学校中抽取了7340名学生作为样本。在正常上课期间完成了一份自填式问卷。对每个教育部门的估计值进行加权，以得出总体估计值。在这些学生中，18.1%表示他们每天至少吸1支烟。其中，66.9%曾试图戒烟。在那些并非每天至少吸1支烟的学生中，41.2%以前吸过烟，3.6%打算开始吸烟。根据性别、年级和在家中所说的语言，存在不同的趋势。值得注意的是，说科萨语的吸烟女性比例很小。学校迫切需要开展预防吸烟的项目。
