the beliefs with three dependent variables related to
smoking tobacco: i) occasional consumption (eg.
weekends), ii) daily consumption, and iii) not to have
consumed it.
 Beliefs potentially associated

RESULTS
with
To respond

Sometimes can lead
to commit crimes

 Among those that answer to consume occasionally (e.g.

Surveys conducted by: Serrano, A.; Benito, B.
Sense of control on consumption, and beliefs that
smoking does not harms people of surroundings and
does not cause other problems are with high potential
related to occasionally consumption in youth. On other
hand, beliefs with potential to induce resiliency on
smoking are that smoking causes negative effects on
physical and mental health, causes problems or accidents
in many life areas (scholar, labour, traffic, etc) and in
people of surroundings, plus the perception that negative
effects can occur also when is perceived that the
consumption is control.
