AbstractBackground:Tobacco smoking amongst the young is a matter of public health concern because of the immediate and long-term health consequences associated with tobacco use, such as asthma, cancers, and cardiovascular diseases. The purpose of this study was to identify the determinants of smoking initiation among a sample of high school students in Bosnia and Herzegovina.Methods:The study was conducted among 198 high school students in Zvornik, Bosnia and Herzegovina, during April 2013. A self-administered, pre-tested, structured, close-ended questionnaire was used for data collection.Results:Fourth grade students mainly initiated smoking in high school (45%), while the majority of third and second grade students initiated smoking in primary school. Among students who smoke, an average duration of the smoking habit was <2 years. A multivariate analysis showed that males were 5.27 times more likely to have initiated smoking. For every unit increase in pro-smoking attitude towards smoking, students were 5.3 times more likely to have initiated smoking. Those with parents and friends who are smokers were 6.106 and 5.175 times, respectively, more likely to have initiated smoking.Conclusion:This study indicates that a high proportion of 15–18 year olds in the town of Zvornik are current smokers. Gender, age, and parent and peer influence were identified as important associations with smoking. Interventions should not only be confined to the secondary school environment but they should also extend to their places of residence so that influences in the home environment and social surroundings that contribute to tobacco use are also tackled.

Adolescence is the most crucial stage of human life, and puberty is its beginning. Adolescents duringpuberty go through several biological and socio-psychological changes. They encounter various healthhazards, risks, and, sometimes, suffer from many physical and mental upsets, disarrays, and problemsthat shape their health behaviors in the future. This paper focuses on the exploration of health behaviorsof high-school-going adolescents and how they adapt to changes occurred during adolescence. In orderto elicit their health status and health behaviors, a cross-sectional study comprised of a sample of 160high-school-going boys and girls aged from 12 to 16 years was conducted in four schools under fourunions of four districts in Bangladesh. Significant findings show that high-school-going adolescents gothrough a series of physical, mental, and emotional changes in adolescence. Many have the knowledgeand are aware of these changes and contemporaneous health problems, but some are not and get fears.While their health behaviors depend on how they perceive their health and whom they share with andreceive suggestions. In most cases, girls first inform their mother or sisters or grannies; boys inform theirfriends and peer groups but share a little to their parents and seniors in the family. In both cases, theytend to hide their problems and seldom seeks healthcare from qualified healers. This study concludes thatmeasures like health education and knowledge of puberty should exactly be provided to help them growup smoothly throughout their future life.
