Résumé
"Smoking among adolescents is one of the main concerns for the public health systems in most developed countries. The knowledge of which individual and social risk factors are the most influential for the development of nicotine addiction would help to improve procedures aimed at reducing tobacco use and to develop not only efficacious but efficient prevention programs. The main purpose of this ex post facto study was to detect psychosocial variables related to adolescent smoking. Study participants were 2,840 adolescents aged 12 to 16. Age, gender, perceived availability, weekly income, perceived risk of harm, family- and peer-use, drive for thinness, and self-esteem were selected as predictive variables. The logistic model estimated revealed that smoking in the adolescent¿s social context (friends and/or partners who are smokers) was the most determinant variable for tobacco use. Future research directions and proposals are discussed in relation to the implications of these findings for adolescent smoking prevention programs."
