| Abstract | It is a well established fact that in many countries smoking is a major cause of preventable death. In recognition ofsmoking as a priority topic in public health policy, a diagnosis of smoking habits among adolescents from six secondaryschools was carried out in the city of Cordoba, Argentina, in order to determine its prevalence. An adapted formof a World Health Organisation (WHO) questionnaire was used as a survey instrument and the gathered data wasprocessed using the Epi-Info program, version 3.3. The results obtained demonstrated, among other considerations, thatthe prevalence of smoking among this population group was 30.45% (IC 95%= 27.50% – 33.50%) and that 56.80% (IC95%= 53.60% - 60.00%) had smoked a cigarette at least once in their lives. |
