title: [Smoke addiction amongst young people: a survey carried out on a sample of students in the Potenza Health Unit n. 2 (Basilicata - Italy)]
abstract: The authors have studied smoke addiction amongst youngsters by distributing a questionnaire to the last year students of a high school in Potenza (Health Unit 2). The aim was to appreciate the extent of smoke addiction so as to devise a programme of health education. The results have shown an early and widespread smoke addiction amongst young people, which is quite contradictory if compared with a high level of awareness of the damages caused by the smoke. Relevant data stress the importance of a health education program on the matter addressed to the students of preparatory schools who are the subjects exposed at the highest risk.
