Abstract

Background: NICOTINE dependence typically occurs in adolescence. It is identified as a critical health problem. Despite attempts to limit access to CIGARETTEs by young persons, the rank of adolescence NICOTINE dependence is growing. Rates of smoking vary in different sociodemographic groups, and these group differences remain to be understood.
Method: Male high school STUDENTS who were selected by stratified random sampling participated to complete questionnaires about smoking, its correlates, situations, and smoking cessations.
Results: Of the 812 participants, 11.5% were NICOTINE dependent for at least 6 months. About half of our sample started smoking at the age 13 or less. All of them smoked less than 10 CIGARETTEs per day. The most common reasons of smoking were its pleasure, to suppress anger,
, anxiety, and depression, respectively. Smoking in authority figures in
. high school and in their friends was correlated to NICOTINE dependence.
More than half of the STUDENTS had a history of smoking cessation, but, most of them have relapsed in temptation situations. The major motives to quit smoking were to achieve more physical competence, request of an authority figure, and worry about smoking related diseases.
Conclusion: CIGARETTE smoking rate in our sample was nearly equal to the general population in IRAN. As smoking initiation in the Lower age is much more important than the amount of smoking, the risk. of heavy smoking and worse consequences in these STUDENTS is high. It is suggested to investigate mood and anxiety disorders in the STUDENTS, because most of them started to smoke in different negative situation such as, anger and depression. Significant correlation. Between smoking in authority figures and friends in the high school, and friends in the high dependence in our sample, suggests prohibition of CIGARETTE smoking in public places,
especially in high schools. Moreover, behaviour therapy, such as assertiveness and social skills therapy such g is suitable in prevention and relapse prevention in the STUDENTS.
