Adolescent Smoking Behavior

چکیده
INTRODUCTION One principal aim of tobacco control programs is the prevention of smoking initiation. Adolescent smoking prevalence peaked during the 1940s for males and during the early1970s for females. Since the 1940s, there has been a substantial decline in smoking prevalence among adolescent males. However, during the 1980s, the decline in prevalence stopped and began to level. The decline from the peak prevalence in the 1970s was less dramatic among female adolescents than male. During the 1990s, both genders experienced an increase in smoking prevalence and smoking rates among males and females are now similar. Recent changes in smoking behavior have been comprehensively documented in a report by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC, 2000).
