Teens and young people—those folks who take the car without asking and pretend not to hear when you ask them to turn down the music—seem to be more likely to stop smoking if they think their smoke could harm those around them.

    “The kids were more concerned about the harmful effects of secondhand smoke than they were concerned about themselves,” says Stanton Glandz, a professor of medicine at the University of California, San Francisco.

    The belief that secondhand smoke harmed people around them more doubled the chances that the young smokers were planning to stop their habit in 30 days or already had given up.

    However, the same wasn't true when the young people were asked whether they were worried about their own health risks because of smoking. Glantz says the responses were not statistically (从统计上)important as a sign to show that concern would lead them to give up smoking.

    The research studies 300 smokers and 300 nonsmokers between 11 and 22 years of age.

    Previous studies have found that the ill effects of secondhand smoke are enough to cause adult smokers to give up or at least consider it, but Glantz says this is the first proof that teens also are affected by these concerns.

    “Like adults, kids are concerned about the effect of smoking on others,” he says. “One of the big mistakes that anti-smoking people have made is that they've treated kids differently from adults.”

    The tobacco companies treat kids like adults, and that's part of the attraction, Glantz says. Those trying to get kids to stop smoking should do the same, he says.

    About 4 million teenagers smoke, according to the American Heart Association (学会), and more than 3000 teens under the age of 18 become daily smokers every day. If these continue, about 5 million of those teens will die of some disease caused by smoking, the association estimates.

    Previous studies of how anti-tobacco advertising affects people have shown that worry about secondhand smoke, information about the addictive qualities of tobacco and reports about the tobacco industry's dishonest behavior are the three most highly effective messages that affect people to stop smoking. Glantz says.

    “People who design tobacco control programs for teens should be putting more emphasis on cleaning in-door air and secondhand smoke.” he says.
