Teenage smoking and health education.
Whilst recent OPCS surveys in 1984 and 1986 have revealed that the proportion of smokers in secondary schools is decreasing, smoking continues to remain at alarming levels. Therefore, it is of importance to identify why, when, where and what adolescents smoke in order to produce appropriate packages of health education material. Numerous studies have sought to highlight factors and features of importance. Youthscan data provides an analysis of 16-17 year-olds which will supplement information already available.
