青少年吸烟行为的发生被描述为一个从孩子年幼时就开始的过程。然而，关于幼儿发病过程的性质和细节的经验证据很少。需要更多有关吸烟早期阶段的信息，以便为幼儿和早期尝试者设计干预措施。本研究的目的是描述年轻女孩和男孩的几个与发病相关的变量，并讨论设计针对幼儿的预防干预措施的影响。共有 1, 663 名五年级学生完成了一份调查问卷，评估吸烟行为、心理社会特征以及对“吸烟者”形象的看法。还收集了用于可替宁分析的唾液样本。根据自我报告的吸烟情况，学生被分为从未尝试过的人（从未尝试过一支香烟）或早期尝试过的人（尝试过一种或多种香烟）。大多数尝试过香烟的学生都处于吸烟的早期阶段，因为大约 30% 的人尝试过一种香烟，而只有不到 10% 的人尝试过第二种。尝试过吸烟的人和从未尝试过吸烟的人在吸烟者的形象上有所不同，并且一些心理社会特征预测了男孩尝试吸烟和吸烟的意图。
The onset of smoking behavior in adolescents has been described as a process, beginning when children are young. Little empirical evidence is available, however, on the nature and specifics of the onset process in young children. More information is needed about the early stages of smoking onset in order to design interventions for young children and for early triers. The purpose of the present study was to describe several onset-related variables in young girls and boys and to discuss implications for designing prevention interventions that target young children. A total of 1, 663 5th-grade students completed a questionnaire assessing smoking behavior, psychosocial characteristics, and perceptions of a “smoker” image. Saliva samples for cotinine analysis were also collected. Students were classified as either never-triers (never tried a cigarette) or early triers (tried one or more cigarettes) on the basis of self-reported smoking. Most students who had tried a cigarette were in the early stages of smoking onset, because approximately 30% had tried one cigarette and less than 10% had tried a second. Triers versus never-triers differed on their reported images of smokers, and several psychosocial characteristics predicted trying a cigarette and intentions to smoke for boys.
