The purpose of the study was to explore the relationship between the exposure of adolescents in the seventh and eighth grades to cigarette advertising and their being smokers. A survey questionnaire given to 602 adolescents assessed their exposure to cigarette advertising and provided measures of their smoking behavior, demographic characteristics, and some psychosocial variables. The results indicated that exposure to cigarette advertising and having friends who smoked were predictive of current smoking status. Adolescents with high exposure to cigarette advertising were significantly more likely to be smokers, according to several measures of smoking behavior, than were those with low exposure to cigarette advertising. The findings extend previous research identifying factors that may play a role in the initiation and maintenance of smoking among adolescents.
该研究的目的是探讨七年级和八年级青少年接触香烟广告与他们成为吸烟者之间的关系。一项针对602名青少年的调查问卷评估了他们接触香烟广告的情况，并提供了他们吸烟行为、人口统计学特征和一些心理社会变量的测量指标。结果表明，接触香烟广告以及有吸烟的朋友可预测当前的吸烟状况。根据多项吸烟行为指标，接触大量香烟广告的青少年比接触少量香烟广告的青少年更有可能成为吸烟者。这些发现扩展了先前的研究，确定了可能在青少年吸烟的开始和维持中起作用的因素。
