Smoking among upper secondary pupils with asthma: reasons for their smoking behavior: a population-based study.

Research output: Contribution to journalJournal articleResearchpeer-review

We compared why adolescent pupils with and without asthma started smoking and currently smoke. Girls with asthma started smoking less often because of friends smoking, and asthmatics started more often because of pressure, especially asthmatic boys. Fewer asthmatics smoked currently for social reasons and more to stay slim, mainly asthmatic boys.
