| description | Brazil has a National Program of Tobacco Control and specific legislation to prevent the onset of the habit considered among the
world's most advanced, yet the prevalence of experimentation and smoking among adolescents is relatively high. Objective: This study aimed to verify the student access to information and advertising of cigarettes in the city of Anapolis, GO. Methodology: Data were collected through the questionnaire adopted from
VIGESCOLA (Brazil, 2004). The participants were 1565 adolescents between 13 and 19 years old, 1103 enrolled in public schools and 462 in private schools. Results: The adolescent
participants reported still seeing advertisements for cigarettes in the media and events, and few anti-smoking messages. Some had products with brands of cigarettes and were approached by
representatives of tobacco industry with an offer of free samples. In addition, most received information about smoking by
family members, while the school did not contribute to the discussion, as would be desirable. Conclusion: more rigorous
oversight of the tobacco industry in compliance with laws on the advertising and merchandizing is required, as well as greater emphasis on addressing the smoking issue in schools. |
