- Abstract
Even with the range of information available on the harm caused by continuous exposure to nicotine, tobacco is still in the second position in the ranking of legal drugs most consumed according to the National Cancer Institute (INCA). This research is part of a larger project whose central theme is the implementation of educational activities on smoking and adolescence, in schools in the city of Londrina - PR, focusing on adolescents aged between 14 and 20 years. The objectives of the study were to identify the cause of young people's interest in smoking, as well as the interest of adolescent smokers in the consumption of different forms of smoking (cigarette, hookah and/or electronic cigarette/vape) and what are the influences for consumption smoking among adolescents. A questionnaire was applied to high school students, enrolled in public schools in the peripheral and central region of the city of Londrina - PR. The results indicated that 39.4% were already interested and had already tried one of the three forms of smoking (cigarette, hookah and/or electronic cigarette/vape), in addition, the hookah smoking habit was the one that most appeared among students. It is noteworthy that the school, due to its characteristics, becomes an excellent environment for carrying out educational practices to prevent cigarette consumption among adolescents.
