          Abstract

          What is already known about this topic?

          In 2021, the prevalence of experimental and current cigarette use among secondary school students in China stood at 16.7% and 4.7%, respectively. Additionally, 39.9% of these students were exposed to secondhand smoke at school.

          What is added by this report?

          In comparison to 2021, the prevalence of current cigarette use remained unchanged at 4.2% in 2023, whereas experimental use declined to 13.7%. Notably, rates were significantly higher among vocational senior high school (VSHS) students relative to their peers in senior high school (SHS) and junior high school (JHS). Furthermore, exposure to secondhand smoke in schools decreased to 35.4% in 2023 from previously recorded levels, with more pronounced reductions observed in JHS and SHS populations and no notable change among VSHS students.

          What are the implications for public health practice?

          Targeted tobacco control policies are imperative for secondary school students, including the establishment of smoke-free school environments. Additionally, it is crucial to pay close attention to the needs of VSHS students.

          Tobacco addiction.

          Dorothy K Hatsukami, Lindsay F Stead, Prakash C Gupta (2008)
          Tobacco use is associated with 5 million deaths per year worldwide and is regarded as one of the leading causes of premature death. Comprehensive programmes for tobacco control can substantially reduce the frequency of tobacco use. An important component of a comprehensive programme is the provision of treatment for tobacco addiction. Treatment involves targeting several aspects of addiction including the underlying neurobiology and behavioural processes. Furthermore, building an infrastructure in health systems that encourages and helps with cessation, as well as expansion of the accessibility of treatments, is necessary. Although pharmacological and behavioural treatments are effective in improving cessation success, the rate of relapse to smoking remains high, emphasising the strong addictive nature of nicotine. The future of treatment resides in improvement in patient matching to treatment, combination or novel drugs, and viewing nicotine addiction as a chronic disorder that might need long-term treatment.

            Tobacco Use and Smoke Exposure in Children: New Trends, Harm, and Strategies to Improve Health Outcomes.

            Luv D Makadia, P Roper, Jeannette O. Andrews … (2017)
            Every day in the USA, approximately 4000 adolescents begin smoking and the adolescent brain is particularly susceptible to nicotine addiction. We present current pediatric trends on tobacco use and exposures, various new products used by adolescents, the adverse biological and behavioral effects of tobacco use and exposures, and tobacco control strategies to eliminate tobacco-related illnesses and deaths in the pediatric population.

              Exposure to parental smoking in childhood is associated with increased risk of carotid atherosclerotic plaque in adulthood: the Cardiovascular Risk in Young Finns Study.

              Costan Magnussen, Jorma S. A. Viikari, Olli Raitakari … (2015)
              The association between passive smoking exposure in childhood and adverse cardiovascular health in adulthood is not well understood. Using a 26-year follow-up study, we examined whether childhood exposure to passive smoking was associated with carotid atherosclerotic plaque in young adults.
