Adolescent smoking is a common social phenomenon. After many research works, it is concluded that peer, as the external influential factor, contribute to the smoking among adolescent; and the attitude toward smoking, which holds by adolescent, is the internal factor of smoking. Former researches mainly confined to morality and health perspectives. However, as an interaction of external and internal factors, smoking should be investigated from psychological point of view, and we should start from the influence that their peers cast on them while adolescent smoking. In mis research, it shows that juvenile smoking arises at junior high school time, and junior high school students will be easily motivated when their peers smoke. Therefore, the research method in this paper rests on investigations and experiments to find out the influence of peers among junior high school students' smoking attitude.Here is the research findings:1 For the high internal homogeneous reliability, structure and contents validity, the questionnaire of influence of companions towards junior high school students' smoking, thus, can reveal the peers' attitude toward smoking among junior high school students.2 The research results tell us that in the peer education intervention , the candidates of test subjects should be chosen from the first year junior high school students, and we should neglect their family background.3 After the peer groups' education intervention, the attitude of subjects in the test changed. As for the consequence and attitude of smoking in KAP, it has been enhanced among members from both homogenous experimental group and heterogeneous group.4 The research also shows that peer groups' education intervention towards attitude smoking of high school students is effective and workable.
