ABSTRACT

STUDY OBJECTIVE: s: To analyze the perception of sexual content (PSC) of tobacco advertisements and its potential impact on the process of smoking in adolescents. DESIGN, PARTICIPANTS, AND SETTING: A questionnaire was administered to 1,186 adolescents at the National Institute of Respiratory Diseases in Mexico City to determine the PSC. In addition, age, gender, susceptibility, receptivity, parental smoking and education, anxiety, depressive symptoms, school category, and grade were determined. INTERVENTIONS AND MEASUREMENTS: The images of two advertisements were projected in color onto a screen. One of the images had unquestionable sexual content. The impact of the images was evaluated at the same time in the questionnaire. RESULTS: Forty-one percent of participants were nonsmokers (25% nonsusceptible and 16% susceptible), whereas 59% were smokers (47% experimenters and 12% established). Sixty-six percent were receptive to promotions of the tobacco companies. Seventy-two percent perceived sexual contents in the advertisements. A logistic regression model showed that receptivity (odds ratio [OR], 2.1; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.3 to 3.4), minimal PSC (OR, 2.6; 95% CI, 1.7 to 4.0), and high PSC (OR, 4.4; 95% CI, 2.4 to 8.0) were significantly associated with the status of smokers, whether experimenters or established. The strongest association was found with established smokers. Further analysis showed that male gender was significantly associated with high levels of PSC. CONCLUSIONS: These results show that a high percentage of adolescents perceived sexual content in the tobacco advertisement, which, independent of the subject's receptivity, plays a role in the process of smoking, especially in male adolescents.

ABSTRACT

Introducción: Se ha demostrado que la participación en actividades deportivas promueve la salud física y mental. En contraste, la conducta de fumar (y la eventual adicción al tabaco) entre los estudiantes correlaciona inversamente con la práctica regular de actividades deportivas. A pesar de las reglamentaciones y de la evidencia científica en su contra, la industria tabacalera no ha dudado en vincular la conducta de fumar con el hábito del deporte. Hipótesis: El rendimiento de los atletas puede estar disminuido por efectos del tabaquismo. Una segunda hipótesis sostiene que la industria tabacalera influye en un número importante de atletas, induciéndolos a fumar. Para probarlas, analizamos el desempeño de los 680 corredores que participaron en la IV Carrera contra el Tabaco. Resultados: No se encontraron diferencias significativas entre los sexos, ni entre los grupos determinados por las edades. De acuerdo al análisis de varianza, las diferencias por tiempo entre los grupos fueron significativas. El tiempo promedio que invirtieron todos los participantes en recorrer cada kilómetro fue de 5.09 ? 1.02min. El tiempo de los no fumadores (5.02 min/km) fue significativamente menor que el de los ex fumadores (5.15min/km), y de los fumadores (5.75min/km). Conclusiones: El rendimiento físico de los que nunca han fumado es significativamente mejor de aquellos que sí fuman. Además, entre los individuos que practican de manera regular un deporte, hay un porcentaje importante de fumadores. Por lo tanto, entre los individuos que hacen ejercicio se debe hacer promoción antitabaco.
