- Abstract
Currently, smoking is considered a serious public health problem and is considered the greatest avoidable cause of illness, disability and death. Several studies, over time, have concluded the relationship of smoking to serious diseases that are responsible for anti-smoking government policies worldwide. There are many advances in tobacco prevention and smoking cessation, but data on smoking deaths are still alarming. Brazil is considered a great inspiration for other countries when it comes to these policies, just as other countries served as inspiration for Brazil, such as Canada. Children and adolescents are a group that is very vulnerable to smoking and therefore are considered a priority when it comes to prevention. In light of the above, a bibliographical review was carried out with the objectives of contextualizing the problem of smoking and of identifying the factors that lead adolescents to use tobacco. The study shows that smoking is considered one of several risk situations that the adolescent is exposed in this phase of so many transformations. Most authors point to curiosity as the major factor that leads the adolescent to smoking and the parents and friends smokers as main influences for the initiation of this habit.
