- Abstract
The article presents information on a study which evaluates the motives and factors that predict smoking in Dutch children of the age group 10-15. For analysis of the data, the Fishbein and Ajzen model has been applied. It was reported that the non-smokers connect smoking more firmly with health hazards, personal hazards and harm to the environment. Even the smokers recognize these consequences but play down their importance, associating more advantages with smoking. Non-smokers often regard these effects as detrimental. It also reports that the long-term consequences are more closely associated with the regular smoking, while short-term effects are more closely linked with initial smoking. The non-smokers also experience more social pressure not to smoke than do the smokers.
