The Global Youth Tobacco Survey (GYTS) in Lusaka, Zambia for students aged 13-15, conducted in 2002, used a two-stage cluster sampling method to assess tobacco use and related factors. Key findings include:

• High prevalence of ever smoking cigarettes (28.0%) and current tobacco use (23.1%).
• Notable differences by gender: Males had higher cigarette smoking rates than females.
• Exposure to secondhand smoke is significant, with 29.4% living with parents who smoke, and high public exposure ( nearly 3 in 10).
• Media influences are mixed: Nearly all students (74.6%) saw anti-smoking messages, but over half saw pro-tobacco ads.
• Cessation efforts are common, with 54.4% of current smokers having tried to quit in the past year.
• Knowledge and attitudes indicate many youth perceive smoking positively, but more than half believe smoking should be banned in public places.
• School-based components show that 47.8% learned about tobacco dangers, and response rates exceeded 80%.

Overall, tobacco use and exposure remain major concerns for young people in Lusaka.
