尽管美国的吸烟率稳步下降，但尼古丁消费性质的变化和不可燃尼古丁产品的普及促使我们修改烟草预防策略。西班牙裔青年吸烟的观点研究是有限的，但至关重要的预防工作与西班牙裔是美国最大的少数民族本研究旨在了解低收入西班牙裔青年对烟草使用的经验和看法。来自德克萨斯州埃尔帕索的49名青少年（9至19岁）参加了关于烟草/尼古丁使用的5个扩展焦点小组讨论。青少年主要通过亲戚接触烟草，尽管随着青少年年龄的增长，学校和聚会环境变得更加相关。青年对烟草和吸烟者有负面看法，但认为他们的同龄人往往对烟草持积极态度。年轻人还将吸烟视为一种有效的压力管理策略，尤其是在他们的大家庭中。健康和家庭是不吸烟的强烈动机。青年人对烟草的看法存在几种紧张关系。吸烟被认为是令人不快和有害的，但年轻人认为他们的同龄人认为这很酷。同行对烟草经验和看法的讨论可能有助于纠正这些不一致的观点。增加这种紧张的是烟草被用来管理压力的看法。鉴于家庭环境对西班牙裔青少年的重要性，让家庭参与确定烟草使用导致压力的方式可能会有益于烟草预防工作。
Although US cigarette smoking rates have steadily declined, the changing nature of nicotine consumption and the popularity of non-combustible nicotine products urges us to revise tobacco prevention strategies. Research on smoking perspectives among Hispanic youth is limited yet crucial for prevention efforts with Hispanics being the largest minority in the U.S. This study sought to understand the experience and perceptions of low-income Hispanic youth regarding tobacco use. Forty-nine adolescents (ages 9 to 19) from El Paso, Texas, participated in five extended focus group discussions about tobacco/nicotine use. Adolescents were predominantly exposed to tobacco through relatives, although school and party contexts became more relevant as youth aged. Youth had negative perceptions of tobacco and smokers, but believed their peers often viewed tobacco positively. Youth also saw tobacco use as a functional stress-management strategy, especially within their extended family. Health and family were strong motivators not to smoke. Youth maintain several tensions in their views on tobacco. Tobacco use is considered unpleasant and harmful, yet youth perceive their peers to view it as cool. Peer to peer discussion of tobacco experiences and perceptions may help correct these incongruent viewpoints. Adding to this tension is the perception that tobacco is used to manage stress. Given the importance of the home environment for Hispanic youth, tobacco prevention efforts may benefit from engaging family to identify the ways in which tobacco use causes stress.
