RESUMO
OBJECTIVE:: To analyze tobacco consumption susceptibility and disincentive factors among non-smoker teenagers in Bolivia. MATERIALS AND METHODS:: A secondary data analysis of the Global Youth Tobacco Survey was conducted. A multivariate logistic regression was developed to estimate the relation between the susceptibility to smoke and social factors, smoking behaviour, and tobacco control policies. RESULTS:: Susceptibility increases by: close smoker friends (OR=1.74); comfort perception when smoking on social events (OR=1.86); observing smokers in public places (OR=1.54); teenager's cigarettes promotion (OR=4.05); exposure to tobacco advertising (OR=2.08); and male teenagers (OR=2.00). Tobacco disincentives are parental information about smoking (OR=0.38) and health warning labels (OR=0.63). CONCLUSION:: Bolivia requires, at minimum, to implement the other basic measures of the Framework Convention on Tobacco Control.

Resumen: Objetivo: Analizar factores de susceptibilidad y desincentivo al inicio del consumo de tabaco en adolescentes no fumadores de Bolivia. Material y métodos: Análisis secundario de la Encuesta Mundial de Tabaquismo en Jóvenes de Bolivia, 2012. Mediante una regresión logística multivariada se estimó la relación de la susceptibilidad a fumar con los factores sociales, de comportamiento y de políticas de control de tabaco. Resultados: Los factores de susceptibilidad a fumar fueron: amigos cercanos fumadores (RM=1.74), percepción de confort al fumar en eventos sociales (RM=1.86); observar fumadores en ambientes públicos (RM=1.54); promoción de cigarrillos a jóvenes (RM=4.05), exposición a publicidad tabacalera (RM=2.08) y sexo masculino (RM=2.00); los que desincentivan el consumo: información de los familiares sobre el tabaquismo (RM=0.38) y las advertencias sanitarias (RM=0.63). Conclusión: Bolivia requiere implementar mínimamente el resto de las medidas básicas del Convenio Marco del Control de Tabaco.
