“…Higher percentage of males smoking compared to females has been observed in other regions (NHMS III, 2006;Golbasi et al, 2011) as well as from other local studies (Lim et al, 2010;Yasin et al, 2013). Similar to the findings from other local studies that Malays are more likely to smoke compared to Chinese (Stanton et al, 1996;Lee et al, 2005), in this study we also found that Malays have higher odds of being susceptible to smoking. Considering this fact our Government should give special attention to the Malay population when planning smoking prevention strategies.…”

Background: To identify the prevalence of different stages of smoking and differences in associated risk factors. Materials and Methods: Thos longitudinal study started in February 2011 and the subjects were 2552 form one students aged between twelve to thirteen years of from 15 government secondary schools of Kinta, Perak. Data on demographic, parental, school and peer factors were collected using a self-administered questionnaire. We examined the effects of peer, school and parental factors on the five stages of smoking; never smokers, susceptible never smokers, experimenters, current smokers and ex-smokers, at baseline. Results: In the sample, 19.3% were susceptible never smokers, 5.5% were current smokers 6% were experimenters and 3.1% were ex-smokers. Gender, ethnicity, best friends' smoking status, high peer pressure, higher number of relatives who smoked and parental monitoring were found to be associated with smoking stages. Presence of parent-teen conflict was only associated with susceptible never smokers and experimenters whereas absence of home discussion on smoking hazards was associated with susceptible never smokers and current smokers. Conclusions: We identified variations in the factors associated with the different stages of smoking. Our results highlight that anti-smoking strategies should be tailored according to the different smoking stages.

“…Another study with a younger sample (aged [14][15][16] found a somewhat higher rate of quitting for at least one month (13.6%). 6 Using data from the Teenage Attitudes and Practices Survey I (1989) and II (1993), Zhu and colleagues 7 estimated a 4% per year quit rate among adolescent smokers who had smoked at least 100 cigarettes in their lifetime and who had smoked at least one cigarette during the past 30 days. Another study 8 found an overall quit rate (defined as not smoking in the past 30 days) at a one year follow up of 21% among a sample of 593 adolescent smokers who, at baseline, had smoked any cigarettes during the past month.…”

10Available research demonstrates that substance abusing youth are heavy cigarette smokers for whom the behavior persists into adulthood. As such this population represents an important target for intervention. In order to inform treatment design, the present paper described cessation efforts, including motives and methods for quitting, in a sample of cigarette smoking adolescents who received inpatient or outpatient treatment for substance abuse. The 183 participants were on average 16.2 years old, 45% were females, and 72% were white. Consistent with studies of community and high risk youth samples, the majority of participants had previously attempted cessation, yet reported little success in maintaining abstinence. Health emerged as a frequently endorsed motive for cessation and stopping abruptly (cold turkey) was the most commonly reported strategy for quitting.
