Original title

Consumo de tabaco del adolescente en su ámbito social.

Tobacco Consumption among Teenagers in their Social Environment.

Abstract

As it is known by multiple studies, tobacco is one of the main risk factors of cardiovascular diseases. Our Autonomous Community of Extremadura is one of the first —the third one— in death rate due to tobacco in Spain.
Our aim is to know the toxic habits of young people in our city (Badajoz), that is, to know with whom and when they smoke. The purpose is that sanitary authorities consider the necessity to start up programs of health education, and thus delay the beginning of its consumption, in order to diminish the smoker population and, therefore, to reduce the risks that these toxic habits entail to health.

Key words

cardiovascular disease · habit · teenager · tobacco · toxic habits · young people.
