Abstract:

Objective: To describe the tobacco experimentation and associated factors in adolescentsrural southwestern Bahia. Methods: This was a clipping of Adolescer research, a cross-sectional study in 2015, with 390 adolescents. Data were analyzed using measures of frequency and chi-square; and Poisson regression with robust variance to estimate the prevalence ratios (PR) for the tobacco experimentation in relation to the explanatory variables. Results: 5.1% Adolescents had ever smoked cigarettes and 0.3% had used them regularly. The following variables were associated with the experimentation: male gender (RP=6.46); having sexual intercourse once in life (RP=20.55); having parents whom rarely or never understand their problems (RP=7.89); having 3 or more friends (RP=0.10). Conclusions: Despite the low tobacco experimentation and regular use prevalence, which indicate the adoption of a healthier lifestyle or greater autonomy and decision-making ability for the non-consumption, it is known that there is no safe level of exposure to tobacco. It is suggested the establishment of intersectoral partnership between education and health to strengthen health promotion and disease prevention, with emphasis on smoking habits.
