Overview
Backround:
The specific research is concerned on understanding the reasons of the progress from smoking attempts to regular smoking and development of addiction. Among others, the subjective feelings during the first exposure to nicotine and to other chemicals in cigarette smoke – both positive and negative – are involved into this process. The study evaluates data about the first smoking attempts and the immediate impressions obtained by ten-year old children involved into the programme „No-smoking is normal“.
Methods:
Students in 5th course, who have tried to smoke, were asked about the situation in their first attempt and the source of cigarette, about course of event and immediate consequences and about repeating of smoking attempts. The differences between children with only single attempt and those who smoked repeatedly and between children with bad, neutral and good senses after smoking were compared.
Results:
Among 762 children at 5th course, 32.6% have experiences with smoking: one single attempt referred 17.2%, repeatedly smoked 15.4% of children. Repeatedly smoking children significantly more often described their first feelings either as neutral or good/excellent; reasons of smoking were more often „older image“, acceptance to smoke offered cigarette or long arrange for the first smoking; more than one fifth of them will to smoke in future. Children with only single attempt more often described their feelings as negative and the reasons of smoking as coincidence, curiosity, conformation.
Conclusion:
In the short term evaluation, the positive sences about the first smoking attempts promotes their repetition while the negative sences in some children at younger school age delay their further smoking experiments.
Key words:
smoking, first attempts, sences, attitudes
