title: Prevention of smoking in youth.
abstract: Factors likely to explain the considerable increase in tobacco dependency among young people were identified. They are reviewed together with the motivations, usually unconscious, that cause human beings to smoke. Diverse experiments that have been carried out and that serve as the basis for a multidimensional preventive program are reported. Administration of this program in several secondary schools yielded positive results that have not been recorded previously.
