The cigarette smoking prevalence of schoolchildren aged 12 to 13 years in 1975 was compared with that in an age-matched sample interviewed in 1971. Identical methods were used to collect the smoking prevalence data. There was an increase in smoking prevalence over the years 1971 to 1975, with 22-5% of boys smoking one or more cigarettes per week in 1975 compared with 14% in 1971 and with 19-1% of girls smoking this number in 1975 compared with 4-6% in 1971. Alternative strategies to attack the problem of smoking among children are needed.
将1975年12至13岁学童的吸烟率与1971年采访的年龄匹配样本的吸烟率进行了比较。采用相同的方法收集吸烟率数据。1971年至1975年期间吸烟率有所上升，1975年有22.5%的男孩每周吸食一支或多支香烟，而1971年为14%；1975年有19.1%的女孩每周吸食一支或多支香烟，而1971年为4.6%。需要采取其他策略来解决儿童吸烟问题。
