A Period of Increased Susceptibility to Cigarette Smoking among High School Students.
Filice, Gregory A.; Hannan, Peter J.; Lando, Harry A.; Joseph, Ann M.
Journal of School Health, v73 n7 p272-78 Sep 2003
Assessed susceptibility to cigarette smoking among high school students who never smoked. Students participated in voluntary extracurricular anti-tobacco activities throughout the school year. Pre- and post-intervention surveys indicated that among 9th grade nonsmokers, susceptibility increased over the year, while it decreased for 10th-12th grade nonsmokers. Susceptibility was more common among students who felt smoking produced social benefits or who were tolerant of tobacco company behavior. (SM)
