Abstract

It was found that the proportion of ever smokers shows a clear cohort effect among Danish men. Almost 90% of men born in 1920-1929 had ever smoked compared to only 40% among those born in 1970-79. The pattern among women do not show a similar trend. The percent of ever smokers has been between 60 to 70% in all generations except the youngest. A similar trend was seen in the Swedish region. Besides these national cohort differences it was found, that the social network or close social group had a significant influence on smoking behaviour.

Conclusion: When planning smoking prevention programmes it is essential to be aware of the significant influence of peers and social groups
