Continuities and changes: teenage smoking and occupational transition

Article Abstract:

The numbers of young people smoking in the United Kingdom are high but they do not all turn into regular smokers. Young people go through various social, economic and job changes between the ages of 15 to 17 and becoming a regular smoker is linked to these changes. Friendship groups and the use of drugs and alcohol are important factors for both girls and boys. Smokers said they did it when with friends or when they were drinking alcohol. Health promotions need to realise that smoking is an activity with complex social triggers.

Image, context and transition: Smoking in mid-to-late adolescence

Article Abstract:

The 16-19-year-old Scottish smokers' experiences and attitudes towards smoking and their understandings of the ways in which this transitional period impacts on their smoking behaviour are explored. It is suggested that if smoke-free policies are extended to all workplaces, this would have a particular impact on smoking amongst older adolescents by hindering the transition form social to regular smoking.
