目标。为了制定预防策略，本研究确定了中国中学生吸烟的流行率和态度。方法。对中国东部浙江省 13 至 18 岁的在校学生进行了自我填写问卷调查。结果。在 6674 名受访者中，15.9%（男孩为 25.7%，女孩为 5.4%）曾经吸烟。只有 0.3% 是经常吸烟者。在曾经吸烟的人中，41.9%在10岁之前吸烟，7.9%在5岁之前吸烟。父母吸烟是吸烟的最强预测因素。结论。这个年龄段的经常吸烟率非常低，这表明学校的预防计划可能是有益的。应鼓励父母对在家吸烟采取更负责任的态度。

Self-completion questionnaires were administered to 13- to 18-year-olds attending school in Zhejiang Province, eastern China.Results. Of the 6674 respondents, 15.9% (25.7% of the boys, 5.4% of the girls) were ever smokers. Only 0.3% were regular smokers. Of the ever smokers, 41.9% had smoked before 10 years of age and 7.9% before 5 years of age. Parental smoking was the strongest predictor of smoking.Conclusions. The very low prevalence of regular smoking found in this age group suggests that prevention programs in school may be beneficial. Parents should be encouraged to adopt more responsible attitudes toward smoking in the home.
