Objective:
to associate network and social influence with tobacco use in high school students.
Methods:
comparative cross sectional study. Four hundred and eighty six students participated. A questionnaire about social networks and social influence on tobacco use was applied.
Results:
student tobacco users were less integrated to the student network than non-users and were perceived to be looking for greater popularity among their clasemates.
Conclusions:
a lower average of out closeness between the sender and the receptor and a higher average of perceived popularity were associated significantly with past and current tobacco use. Health promotion actions should include strategies encouraging greater integration of these users into the student network and change the popularity perception related to use in order to promote an environment of less consumption.
