Research and experience has showed various trick and strategies of the tobacco industries. It is therefore appropriate to implement laws that will curb every secret parties and advert used to promote its new product "Pall Mall" in developing countries especially Nigeria. There is also the need to build a strong alliance/network in high school thereby making them Students Action against Tobacco Smoking (SAATS). RESULTS: Increase awareness on the dangers of smoking and the deadly component in cigarettes thereby saying NO to the tobacco industries souvenirs, baseball cap, t-shirt and sponsorships. The method will also implement laws especially in Nigeria to curb both direct and indirect advertisement of the tobacco multinationals, thereby winning more adolescents for SAATS. CONCLUSION: Since the tobacco multinationals are recruiting more teenagers and youths everyday, thereby killing millions to make billions, efforts should be made in monitoring the tobacco industries to reduce both direct and indirect advertisement by the tobacco companies and engage more teenagers and youths in tobacco control activities. Background: Adolescents are a major target group of tobacco companies. Tobacco companies spend substantial amounts of money to promote smoking in adolescents. In Thailand, adolescents are considered the primary target for smoking prevention by the government. Objective: To determine the pattern of cigarette smoking among Thai adolescents over a period of three years. Design/Methods: A longitudinal study was conducted among adolescents between the ages of 13-18 sampled from 5 regions of Thailand using stratified multistage sampling. Wave 1 survey involved 1,000 adolescents was conducted during January to March 2005, wave 2 survey involved 962 adolescents was conducted during July to September 2006 and wave 3 survey involved 1,096 adolescents was conducted during January to March 2008. Self administered questionnaires were employed for data collection. Data were analyzed and compared using descriptive statistics. Results: Overall, smoking prevalence has increased from 11.3% in wave 1 to 13.7% in wave 2 and 18.3% in wave 3. Consistent with other Asian countries, smoking prevalence in young males were more than 10 times higher than young females. Among youth smokers, more than 70% smoked factory-made cigarette. The total amount of tobacco use per day increased from wave 1 to wave 3. In wave 1, no one reported that they smoked more than 20 cigarettes per day but in wave 2 and wave 3 surveys 6.9% of youth smokers reported that they smoked more than 20 cigarettes per day. In wave 1, approximately half (47.9%) of youth smokers reported that they obtained cigarette from friends with only 38% reported that they bought cigarette for themselves. The proportion of young smokers who reported that they bought cigarettes for themselves were significantly increased in wave 2 (61.3%) and wave 3 (68.2%) as compare to wave 1. More than half of young smokers reported that they tried to quit smoking within the past month. The proportion of youth smokers who reported that they never tried to quit smoking were slightly decreased from wave 1 as compare to wave 2 and wave 3 (20.7% in wave 1, 19.7% in wave 2 and 17.4% in wave 3). Conclusions: Cigarette smoking among Thai youth remains the important problem and needs further tobacco control policies to prevent and control tobacco consumption. There are high expectations that the communication of genetic risk information will motivate behaviour change. This symposium considers the theoretical and empirical basis for these expectations and the likelihood that they may be realized. Celeste Condit and Lijiang Shen present the results of three large population-based surveys in the US assessing public perceptions of the interaction between genes and behaviour.
