The social environments can influence young smokersSchool’s social environments can influence smoking rates a lot. Health researchers found that pupils who experience positive and social environments in school are less likely to take up smoking. High-school children have another opinion they said that current antismoking interventions are ineffective. But the Medical Research Council (MRC) looked at more than 5,000 pupils in 24 Scottish schools. This study was led by Marion Henderson of the MRC. Henderson reported that the social environment of schools can influence both boys’ and girls’ smoking habits. The social environments can be teacher-pupil relationships, pupils' attitude to school and the school's focus on caring and inclusiveness. The aim of this research was to examine the social determinants of smoking among adolescents attending school. Dr Henderson and her colleagues found that, on average, 25% of males and 39% of females aged 15-16, reported that they either regularly or occasionally smoked. She added: "Our research has shown that this environment acts to either encourage or discourage smoking." The research showed "school effects" remained even after other factors, such as whether pupils smoked before joining, whether they lived with both parents and how much personal spending money they had, were taken into account. Dr Henderson said: "Our results suggest that investing in the social environment of schools and endeavoring to make school a positive experience even for less academically able pupils may have the potential to reduce smoking rates, particularly for boys." The attempt to make school a positive experience even for less academically able pupils may have the potential to reduce smoking rates. |
