The research method was designed quasi-experiment and two composite high schools in Taipei City were selected. The experiment school had proceeded a series of campus antitobacco campaign during 2003-2004 school years. Four classes in the experiment school and seven classes in control school were randomly selected for the research. The pre-test was administed in October, 2003 and the post-test was administed in May, 2004. Only the study cases that completed both tests were included in the statistics analysis. The subjects included: 63 students in the junior high experiment group, 90 students in the junior high control group, 68 students in the senior high experiment group and 133 students in the senior control group. The questionnaire included three sections: The risk factors included: (1) individual factors: the smoking intention in the future one month, six months, one year, five years, and twenty years; (2)family factors: the smoking conditions of father, mother, brothers ,and sisters; (3) school factors: smoking condition of the teachers; (4) peer factors: smoking condition of the peers and condition of the peer invitation to smoking.The protective factors included: (1) individual factors: the attitudes toward smoking , anti-tobacco behavior , self-efficacy of refusing tobacco use and identification of anti-tobacco campaign: (2) family factors: the smoking attitudes of the father, mother, brothers, and sisters；(3) school factors: teacher’s smoking attitudes ,the awareness of tobacco-free environment, and the degree of exposure to antitobacco information: (4) peer factors: peer’s smoking attitude and the rate of participation of antitobacco campaigns among peers.smoking behavior included: (1) smoking behavior in the past year, and (2)smoking behavior during the past thirty days. The finds of the study were as follows: 1. The examined students had following the protective factors: (1) high self-efficacy of refusing tobacco use, (2) positive attitudes toward smoking,(3) important others with antismoking attitudes, and(4)The tobacco free activitives was to carry out well. 2. The students had the following risk factors: (1) The smoking prevalences of the family were in the following order: 62.8% fathers in the junior high group, 54.7% fathers in the senior high group, 11.8% mothers in the junior high group, and 11.5% mothers in the senior high group. Besides, the rates of brothers and sisters who smoked were below 5%. (2)There were 80% students reported they wouldn’t smoke in the future one month, six months, one year, five years, and twenty years. 3. In terms of smoking behavior, the results showed：(1) The lifetime smoking prevalence of the junior high group was 9.2%, and the senior high group was 11.5%. (2) The past year smoking prevalence of the junior high group was 4%, and the senior high group was 5%. (3) The past 30 days smoking prevalence of the junior high group was 2.7%, and the senior high group was 3%. 4. After the antitobacco campaign , the experimental senion high group were significantly higher then the control group in the following variables in the post-test under the control of pre-test condition: (1) The school protective factor “the awareness of tobacco-free environment”,and“ the degree of exposure to antitobacco information” ; (2) the peer protective factor “the rate of participation of antitobacco campaigns among peers”. 5. After the antitobacco campaign , the experimental junior high group were significantly higher then the control group in the following variables in the post-test under the control of pre-test condition; (1) The school protective factor “the awareness of tobacco-free environment”,and（2）the peer protective factor “the rate of participation of antitobacco campaigns among peers. 6. After the antitobacco campaign ,there were not diffrenent between experiment group and control group in the following variables in the post-test under the control of pre-test condition; the risk factors “the smoking condition of importan others”, “ the smoking intention in the future”,both in junior high group and senion high group. 7. After the antitobacco campaign, there were not diffrenent between experiment group and control group in the following variables in the post-test under the control of pre-test condition; “ the smoking behavior in the past year”,and “smoking behavior during the past thirty days”, both in junior high group and senion high group. According to the study, after the antitobacco campaign some protective factors significantly diffrenent between experiment group and control group,However the risk factors and the smoking behavior did not show the same results. The future antitobacco campaign is suggested to be promoted and monitored. Additionally, the antitobacco campaign should be designed base on the risk factors and the protective factors of smoking behavior.
