Abstract:
Adolescents turning into smokers in france .Tobacco kills more than 75,000 people in France each year. Among them, a large majority started their smoking history as an adolescent. More than half of 17-years-old have already tried tobacco and 25.1% of them report daily smoking. This is the lowest prevalence of daily smoking observed in France for 20 years. The daily consumption of 16-years-old decreased from 31% in 1995 to 12% in 2019, placing France in the European average. The initiation of regular tobacco consumption results from complex combinations of social (family, peers), environmental (passive exposure, accessibility, and marketing of products) and individual elements. Passive smoking in the family sphere and the influence of peers, which is most prevalent in adolescence, are two decisive determinants of future adolescent use of cigarette. The study of the entrance into smoking in adolescence should help to adapt preventive strategies to achieve a "tobacco-free generation".
