Schools and Smoking
S ummary . There is a need for greater understanding of influences on childhood uptake of the smoking habit. Some evidence has been put forward that ‘school characteristics' as much as the personal characteristics of children and their families may play some role. A cohort study in Derbyshire secondary schools provided an opportunity to examine this thesis. The role of school organisational features unrelated to smoking, such as are found to affe…
Teachers' smoking
Children take up smoking for many reasons and it is suggested that the example set by schoolteachers may have some influence. Smoking by male teachers appears to have some effect on boys' smoking, particularly in their first two years at secondary school. Thus, in any comprehensive study of what causes children to take up smoking and in any attempt to prevent this by means of health education, the influence of teachers as well as that of relative…
Academic performance and social factors related to cigarette smoking by schoolchildren
Factors which may influence boys and girls aged between 10 and 121/2 years to start smoking were studied. Information was obtained from 491 schoolchildren, their parents, and headteachers. In their own view and that of their headteachers children who did not smoke were academically better than smokers. Children who smoked were more likely than non-smokers to have a parent and siblings of the same sex who smoked. No association was found between t…
Primary schoolboys
The way primary schoolboys see themselves and also see young smokers, may have implications for health education. In this paper a comparison is made between the self-images of 229 primary schoolboys and their images of a young person who smokes. The two images were very different, both for smokers and non-smokers, although the difference for smokers was smaller. It appears that children of this age who smoke do not see themselves as 'smokers', an…
Factors associated with the starting of cigarette smoking by primary school children
A matched sample of 300 children was selected from 7,115 Derbyshire primary school children, who had completed an initial screening questionnaire on smoking and respiratory symptoms in March 1971. In July 1971, 293 of the 300 children (229 boys and 64 girls) completed a second questionnaire giving information about their first cigarette, smoking by their parents, siblings, and friends, and also their reasons for smoking or not. Because of the sma…
Smoking by primary schoolchildren prevalence and associated respiratory symptoms
One of the earliest accounts of the effects of tobacco on young people appeared in 1606. In 'The Copy of a Letter written by E. D. Doctor of Physic to a Gentleman by whom it was Published', E. D. argued that tobacco was
