Background: According to WHO and Global Youth Tobacco Survey, Indonesia is the third largest country with current smokers in the world, including young smokers. It is widely known that smoking is hazardous to health and detrimental to economy. Surakarta is one of the major cities in Central Java where the prevalence of current smokers has been increasing among adolescents. This study aimed to determine the effect of personal factors, family support, pocket money, and peer group, on smoking behavior in adolescents in Surakarta, Central Java. Subjects and Method: This was an analytic observational study using cross-sectional design. This study was carried out in 5 sub-districts in Surakarta, Central java, from February to March 2017. A sample of 50 adolescent smokers and 150 adolescent non-smokers was selected for this study by fixed disease sampling. The dependent variable was current smoking status. The independent variables were cigarette availability, peer-group, family support, pocket money, cigarette advertisement, attitude toward smoking, subjective norm, perceived preventive behavioral control, and intention. The data were collected by a set of questionnaire. The data were analyzed by path analysis. Results: Smoking behavior was affected by strong intention (b= 3.7; 95% CI=2.5 to 4.9; p<0.001), and weak perceived behavioral control (b=3.1; 95% CI= 1.7 to 4.5; p<0.001). Intention to smoke was affected by weak perceived preventive behavioral control (b= 2.1; 95% CI= 1.1 to 3.2; p<0.001), weak preventive subjective norm (b= 1.8; 95% CI= 0.7 to 2.9; p= 0.001), negative attitude (b= 1.9; 95% CI= 0.8 to 2.9; p<0.001), and exposure to cigarette advertisement (b= 1.6; 95% CI= 0.5 to 2.6; p= 0.004). Weak perceived preventive behavioral control was affected by pocket money ≥ Rp 10.000 (b= 1.3; 95% CI= 0.5 to 2.0; p= 0.001). Weak preventive subjective norm was affected by weak family support (b= 2.1; 95% CI= 1.3 to 2.8; p<0.001) and smoker peer-group (b= 1.4; 95% CI= 0.6 to 2.1; p<0.001). Cigarette advertisement was affected by cigarette availability (b= 0.7; 95% CI= 0.1 to 1.3; p= 0.028). Conclusion: Smoking behavior was directly affected by strong intention and weak perceived behavioral control. Smoking behavior was indirectly affected by weak preventive subjective norm, negative attitude, exposure to cigarette advertisement, pocket money ≥ Rp.10.000, weak family support, smoker peer-group, and cigarette availability.

“…Adolescents' performance at school and their own plans for the future are likely to be related to their future socioeconomic status, and thus may also be an indicator of their likelihood to smoke in the future (Baumrind et al, 1991). Studies by Bryant et al (2000), Park et al (2011) and Mcleod et al (2012) suggested that poor academic performance is associated directly or indirectly with increased cigarette use among adolescents. According to a recent study by Morin et al (2011), adolescents who do well in school are less likely to smoke.…”

Background: Smoking among adolescents has been linked to a variety of adverse and long term health consequences. "Susceptibility to smoking" or the lack of cognitive commitment to abstain from smoking is an important predictor of adolescent smoking. In 2008, we conducted a study to determine the psycho-sociological factors associated with susceptibility to smoking among secondary school students in the district of Kota Tinggi, Johor. Materials and Methods: Two thousand seven hundred students were randomly selected by proportional stratified sampling. Analyses on 1,736 non-smoking students revealed that prevalence of adolescents susceptible to smoking was 16.3%. Results: Male gender (aOR=2.05, 95%CI= 1.23-3.39), poor academic achievement (aOR 1.60, 95%CI 1.05-2.44), ever-smoker (aOR 2.17, 95%CI 1.37-3.44) and having a smoking friend (aOR 1.76, 95%CI 1.10-2.83) were associated with susceptibility to smoking, while having the perception that smoking prohibition in school was strictly enforced (aOR 0.55, 95%CI 0.32-0.94), and had never seen friends smoking in a school compound (aOR 0.59, 95%CI 0.37-0.96) were considered protective factors Conclusions: These results indicate that follow-up programmes need to capitalise on the modifiable factors related to susceptibility to smoking by getting all stakeholders to be actively involved to stamp out smoking initiation among adolescents.

Aims: Cigarette passing and sharing contribute to early smoking onset among Chinese male youth. Refusal efficacy, considered pivotal in smoking prevention, has not been addressed in published research regarding specific refusal tactics and resistant communication behaviors. This focus group study aimed to uncover cigarette resistance responses, cigarette-offering agents' reactions to refusal, social barriers, and contextual characteristics among targeted Chinese male adolescents. Methods: Twenty focus groups with 7-10 male smoking and nonsmoking students per group from vocational and junior colleges (N = 165) were interviewed in two cities in China. The data were coded and analyzed. Findings: Nonconfrontational refusal tactics were frequently used. Of the nine identified cigarette refusal categories, consistent and firm declarations of the nonsmoking status were considered most effective. Upon rejection, a majority of people offering cigarettes made no further attempts. Most participants expressed neutral attitudes toward cigarette refusals, in contrast with the assumption in the literature that teenagers pervasively dislike such refusals. Conclusions: Health educators likely can use the finding of peer agents' general neutral (rather than negative) attitudes toward cigarette refusal to relieve teenagers' apprehension about rejecting cigarettes and thereby help build their refusal confidence. The reported effective strategies should be further tested prior to implementation for training teenagers.
