title: [Smoking in childhood and adolescence].
abstract: Well documented reports point out, that most children smoking their first cigarette are younger than 15 years of age. Smoking habits are usually fixed till age 20. Withdrawal treatment shows a bad prognosis and a great number of relapses. Therefore preventive measures must start early at school and should include all social environmental factors.
