2002년, 성인들 사이에서 건강을 우려한 금연열풍이 거세다. 여러 가지 효과적인 금연법과 캠페인이 자주 소개되고 있으며 금연구역도 확대되고 있다. 그러나 아직도 우리나라 청소년들은 흡연에 있어서 안전하지 않다. 우리나라 청소년들의 흡연율은 남자 고등학생 기준 27.6%로 세계 최고 수준임은 이미 밝혀진바 있다(한국금연운동협의회, 2001) 또한 흡연 시작 연령이 점점 낮아지고 있으며 여학생의 흡연율이 급격히 늘고 있는 실정이다.(1991년 여고생 흡연율 2.4%, 2000년 10.7%, 한국금연운동협의회, 2001) 아직 우리나라에서 흡연 청소년을 위한 금연교육은 체계화되어 있지 않으며 학교에서 흡연사실이 발각되더라도 단순한 체벌이나 봉사활동 등으로 일회성에 끝나는 것이 대부분이다. 흔히 청소년 흡연자들은 흡연기간이 길지 않아 의지만 있으면 금연하기가 쉽다고 알고 있지만 상계백병원 청소년 금연클리닉의 조사에 따르면 청소년 흡연자 역시 성인과 비슷한 수준의 니코틴 의존도를 보이고 있다. 청소년 금연 역시 지금의 지도, 체벌 수준에 머물러서는 안 되며 성인과 마찬가지로 과학적, 심리적으로 접근해야 효과가 있다고 한다. 청소년의 달인 5월을 맞이하여 이달의 건강길라잡이에서는 청소년들을 위한 흡연 예방과 청소년의 금연방법에 대하여 알아보고자 한다.

청소년 흡연률 세계2위, 아시아 1위, 활발히 확산되는 범사회적 금연운동에도 불구하고 청소년 흡연률은 오히려 늘면 늘뿐 줄어들지 않고 있는 상황이어서 이를 바라보는 국민의 심정이 안타깝기 그지없다. 사태가 이렇게 심각하게 된데는 여러 이유가 있겠지만 우리 사회가 너무 청소년 흡연을 방치하지 않았나 한번쯤 심각히 반성해야 할 부분이다. 청소년 흡연방지를 위한 보다 적극적이고 실효성 있는 정책과 성인들의 관심과 질타 등이 있었다면 상황은 분명 지금보다는 나아졌을 것이다. 지금보다 실효성 있는 청소년흡연 억제 정책이 시급한 상황에서 그 위기를 구원할 릴리프로 담배자판기를 등판시킨다면 과연 어떨까? 과거만 해도 담배자판기 청소년 흡연조장이라는 이유로 길거리에서 철수되어야 하는 아픔을 겪었고 아직도 그러한 오명으로부터 자유스러울 수 없는 상황이지만 산업계의 기술발달은 이제 과감하고 자신있게 등판을 자청할 상황이 되었다. 위기에 등판한 릴리프는 성인인식장치라는 강력한 강속구로 자신 있게 청소년 흡연증가라는 강타자를 삼진 아웃 시킬 수도 있는게 현상황인 것이다. 문제는 정부관련부처의 담배자판기를 보는 시각변화와 신뢰이다. 100%청소년이용을 차단할 담배자판기를 이용, 기존 유인 담배 판매 유통수단을 대체한다면 청소년 담배구입 루트를 근원적으로 차단할 비법이 있는 마당에 담배자판기를 언제까지나 색안경을 끼고 봐서는 안될 것이다. 이러한 취지 하에 협회에서는 대정부 관련부처 설득을 진행해 가고 있다. 최근에는 청소년보호위원회 홈페이지를 통해 '청소년 흡연 감소를 위한 실질적 대책에 대한 질의 및 제언' 이라는 제목으로 성인인식담배자판기의 적극 활용을 촉구하는 민원을 제출했다. 이제는 정부관련부처의 마인드 변화, 산업계 및 여론의 지지 등이 삼위일체가 되어야 하는 상황에서 온라인 상에 게재된 하기의 내용이 적극 호응과 지지를 받았으면 하는 바램이다.

불행하게도 우리나라 청소년의 담배소비량은 세계 1위다. 이들이 작년 한 해 동안 소비한 담배 6,700만 갑으로 이는 전체 담배소비량의 1.4%를 차지한다. 이러한 청소년 흡연율을 가까운 아시아지역 국가들과 비교해도 한국학생이 단연 1위를 차지하고 있다. 여학생의 경우도 심각한 수준에 달해 있다. 같은 흡연자라도 15세 이전에 흡연을 시작한 사람은 25세 이후에 흡연을 시작한 사람보다 폐암에 걸릴 위험이 2.5배나 높다. 그렇다면 현재의 청소년 흡연자들이 폐암에 걸릴 위험성은 적어도 2.5배가 높으며, 폐암 발병 시기 역시 빨라질 것이다. 이로 인한 개인적, 사회적, 국가적 손실이 클 것이라는 것은 쉽게 예측할 수 있다. 청소년 흡연자가 바로 나의 자녀라고 생각하면 청소년 흡연 예방사업을 반대할 사람은 아무도 없을 것이다.

The purpose of this study is two-fold: 1) to identify different adolescent smoking trajectories in Korea; and 2) to examine predictors of those smoking trajectories within a social developmental frame. Data were from the Korea Youth Panel Survey(KYPS), a longitudinal study of 3,449 youths followed since 2003. Using semi-parametric group-based modeling, four smoking trajectories were identified: non initiators, late onsetters, experimenters, and escalators. Multinomial logistic regressions were then used to identify risk and protective factors that distinguish the trajectory groups from one another. Among non smokers at age 13, late onsetters were distinguished from non initiators by a variety of factors in every ecological domain. Among youths who already smoked at age 13, escalators who increased their smoking were distinguished from experimenters who almost desisted from smoking by age 17 by self-esteem and academic achievement. Finally, implications for youth welfare practice from this study were discussed.

담배에 대한 첫 번째 질문. 흡연은 습관일까? 질병일까? 혹시 습관이라고 답했다면 당신의 담배에 대한 인식이 적어도 20년은 뒤쳐졌다. 흡연에 따른 건강악화가 사회적 문제로 대두되면서 흡연은 '질병'으로 인식되는 추세이다. 특히 성장이 끝나지 않은 청년기의 흡연이나 임신과 출산을 겪을 여성의 흡연은 더 큰 사회적 문제로 부각되고 있다. 청소년과 여성의 흡연, 무엇이 문제일까?

This study was attempted to understand the effect of the violence victim experience of Korean adolescents on smoking using the data of the 15th (2019) online youth health behavior survey. The subjects of this study were 57,303 people, and the data were analyzed using the SPSS / Win 26.0 program for frequency analysis of complex samples, cross sample analysis (Rao-Scott ��2 test), and logistic regression analysis of complex samples. The main result was 12.7% of the smoking subjects. Those who smoked were significantly more 9.6% and 22.0%, respectively, compared to those who had no more than 1 or 2 times of violence. Smoking of Korean adolescents adjusted for gender, grade, academic record, economic status, drinking, family living, and usual stress increased the odds ratio for smoking by 1.66 times when the degree of violence damage experience increased by 1 unit. As a result of the above, as the degree of violence victimization of adolescents increases, the likelihood of smoking increases. Therefore, it is necessary to multidisciplinary convergence effort to the prevention and management of violence of adolescents, and to reduce the smoking of adolescents.

Purpose : Adolescence is a period of growth and development in body structure and physiologic, psychologic, and social functioning. Smoking and drinking in this period are very harmful and may lead to other forms of substance abuse. We surveyed the actual aspects of smoking and drinking among Korean adolescents and analyzed associated factors. Methods : A survey was performed among adolescents using a questionnaire about smoking and drinking. Data were collected from students who visited pediatric clinics for routine school examinations from July to November 2007. Results : A total of 2,546 adolescents (smoking 1,512; drinking 1,034) participated in the study. The overall smoking and drinking rates were 29.2% and 48.2%, respectively, and the mean age at the first instance of smoking and drinking was 13.8 and 14.1 years, respectively. Among drinking adolescents, 30.1% were offered a drink by their parents, although most adolescents were encouraged to smoke or drink by their friends. Dissatisfaction with family and school life, economic status, and school performance was associated with a higher smoking and drinking rate (P<0.001). Broken families were associated with a high rate of smoking, but peer satisfaction was not related to smoking or drinking. The frequency and amount of smoking and drinking in adolescents were as high as those in adults. Social sanctions seemed insufficient to keep adolescents from smoking and drinking. Conclusion : Adolescent smoking and drinking are highly influenced by family and school environments, so more active social sanctions are required, including parental involvement and legislation preventing adolescents from smoking and drinking.

This study, as a secondary analysis research, bases its source upon on raw data from the on-line survey of the Korean adolescents' health behaviors in 2015. This study was conducted to clarify the relevance of Korean adolescents' smoking with their health behaviors and mental health, and thus further to provide basic sources of effective education for their smoking prevention and for program development. The results of the study showed that Korean adolescents' smoking was significantly affected by the adolescents' sex, grades, school achievements, types of schools, allowances, economic status, parents' educational background (p<0.001). Meanwhile, smoking based on the characteristics of health behaviors was significantly different according to alcohol consuming experience, families' and friends' smoking, physical activity and subjective health status, and BMI (p<0.001). Smoking characterized by mental health showed the significant difference in their stress recognition, subjective sleep patterns, depressed experiences, suicidal ideation, and subjective sense of happiness (p<0.001). Based on all the factors regarding youth smoking, there should be development and provision of educational program for smoking prevention and cessation, including healthy behavior and mental health improvement for Korean adolescent.

The goal of this study is to explore different risk factors for smoking and look at the relationships between knowledge, attitudes, and behavioral intentions regarding smoking among schoolchildren, in order to reduce teenage smoking. To achieve this goal a self-administered questionaire regarding smoking was provided to schoolchildren in the 7th and 8th grades in one junior high school in Jerusalem. The schoolchildren were exposed to 10-12 hours of a smoking prevention intervention program. The questionaire focused primarily on the personal characteristics, social environment, knowledge, attitudes, practices, and behavioral intentions of the children. Crosstabs were performed on each variable to determine if significant associations exist among the different variables. The statistical computer, package, SPSS PC, was used to manipulate the data along with Chi-square test. The findings were as follows : About 11% of the children aged 12-14 have ever smoked or are smoking currently, and about 24.0% of those who ever smoked started smoking at the age of 10. Boys smoke more(p<.01), poorer students(by self-perception of school performance) smoke more, and those who had peers who were smokers were more likely to smoke(p<.05). The percentage of the children who reported that either father or mother smoked was about 30%, but no statistical association was found between parental smoking and children's smoking, although trends were noted in the expected direction, i.e. more smokers among children of smokers. Only 1.1% of the children intended to smoke in the future, and 98.0% of the children indicated that they can or they might be able to withstand social pressure. Seventy percent of the children demonstrated medium to high knowledge about smoking, Males, 8th graders, better students, and those without friends who smoke had higher social pressure showed more negative attitudes(p<.01). Those with non-smoking siblings showed more negative behavioral intentions regarding smoking(p<.01), and better students showed more negative behavioral intentions. Those who had higher knowledge scores showed more negative attitudes towards smoking, but not significantly so. Those who had very negative behavioral intentions showed highly significant negative attitudes towards smoking(p<.01).
