[Smoking rooms in Austrian schools--results of 2 questionnaires in the years 1987 and 1989].
To determine the number of schools offering smoking facilities to the attending pupils, questionnaires concerning smoking-rooms were sent to all schools with pupils over 16 years of age. The study was conducted in 1987 and 1989 to get information on changes, as well as on the present state of affairs. In 10.2% of Austrian schools smoking-rooms are offered. This number has increased substantially since 1987 (6.0% of all schools). The percentage of schools offering such facilities is highest in Vienna (smoking-rooms for pupils in 29.7% of schools). The type of school with most smoking-rooms is the high school known as "Allgemeinbildende höhere Schule, AHS" (28.3% of AHS offer smoking-rooms). Independent of the presence of smoking facilities, 80% of Austrian schools take action against smoking, predominantly by organizing information campaigns.
