    El tabaco es la segunda sustancia más consumida entre los adolescentes españoles y sus efectos sobre la salud son bien conocidos. El objetivo de este estudio es analizar el valor predictivo de diferentes variables personales, familiares y ambientales sobre el consumo de tabaco en la población adolescente mediante técnicas de modelado adecuadas y estrategias incluidas en Data Mining. La muestra total está formada por 9.300 estudiantes con edades comprendidas entre los 14 y los 18 años. Los adolescentes contestaron de forma anónima un cuestionario que preguntaba por la frecuencia de uso de diferentes sustancias adictivas así como una serie de variables psicosociales. El consumo de tabaco por parte de los amigos, la frecuencia de salidas nocturnas, la edad, la emisión de conductas prohibidas e impulsivas y el control ejercido por parte de los padres, influyen de forma estadísticamente significativa en el número de cigarrillos consumidos a la semana y constituyen factores de riesgo para iniciar el consumo. Futuros estudios deberían analizar mediante las técnicas propuestas en este trabajo y estudios longitudinales si el endurecimiento de las leyes antitabaco se ha traducido en una disminución del consumo de tabaco de los adolescentes.

    Tobacco is the second most consumed substance among Spanish adolescents and its effects on health are well known. The aim of this study is to analyze the predictor value of different personal, family and environmental factors on tobacco consumption in the adolescent population using appropriate modelling techniques and strategies included in Data Mining. The total sample is made up of 9,300 students aged between 14 and 18 years. The adolescents anonymously answered a questionnaire which asked about the frequency of use of addictive substances as well as a series of psychosocial variables. Tobacco consumption by friends, frequency of nights out, age, production of prohibited, impulsive behaviour and the control exerted by parents bear a statistically significant influence on the number of cigarettes consumed per week and constitute risk factors for initiating consumption. Future studies should analyze, using the techniques proposed in this work and longitudinal studies, whether the tougher anti-smoking laws have been transformed into a decrease in tobacco consumption in adolescents.
