Case Study: Smoking Behavior During the School Period
Abstract
This study aims to discuss the factors that cause adolescent smoking behavior during the school period and the general public's perception of this behavior. This research is motivated by the fact that in everyday life many students wearing junior and senior high school clothes smoke in certain places. This problem arises because they are still classified as adolescents and are still underage. This deviant behavior is caused by various causes such as socialization, family, personal problems, the environment, and one's curiosity when seeing other people smoking. The method applied is qualitative with data collection methods in the form of interviews. The researcher asked several semi-structured questions to seven participants which included someone who had smoked during their school days or had smoked since their school days. The researcher interpreted the interview results from the participants' answers to know and strengthen opinions about the causes of adolescent smoking behavior during the school period. The results of data analysis show that the causes of teenage smoking during the school period are influenced by several factors, namely (1) social factors, (2) environmental factors, and (3) factors of lack of supervision and having problems in the family, and (4) factors of dependence on cigarettes. For society, this behavior is indeed very deviant, especially because they are still teenagers. But this behavior is caused by these factors that occur during the school period, especially the social factors that are most dominant in this behavior.
