TL;DR
Interventions aimed at reducing adolescent smoking should encourage cessation for parents who smoke and help parents communicate strong anti-smoking norms to children and adolescents and maintain strong lines of communication with them.

Health PsychologyValidation of susceptibility as a predictor of which adolescents take up smoking in the United States.
1,015 Citations1996John P. Pierce, Won Seok Choi +3 more
Baseline susceptibility to smoking, defined as the absence of a firm decision not to smoke, was a stronger independent predictor of experimentation than the presence of smokers among either family or the best friend network, but exposure to smokers was not as important in distinguishing adolescents who progressed to established smoking from those who remained experimenters at follow-up.

Though the 27 studies are far from perfect, it is believed that they confirm the importance of many well-accepted predictors and raise some questions about others, and encourages more investigations of the potentially different predictors of transitions to experimental or regular cigarette smoking.

It is shown that friends' smoking affects adolescent initiation into smoking both directly and indirectly, whereas parental smoking influences smoking initiation only indirectly, and there are some significant differences in the pathways of friends' influences among the four groups.

Results add to the chain of inference that effective supervision and monitoring in middle childhood by parents or guardians might induce a delay or prevent onset of drug use among youths living in urban areas, a hypothesis that now ought to be tested in rigorous field experiments.

It is hypothesized that adolescent delinquency and drug use are outcomes of disrupted family processes and exposure to deviant peers, and that adolescents who are both antisocial and use drugs may be at higher risk for eventual substance abuse.

The most striking result is that for persons with 12 to 18 years of completed schooling, the strong negative relation between schooling and smoking observed at age 24 is accounted for by differences in smoking behavior at age 17, when all subjects were still in the same grade.

Children who reported that parents spent more time with them and communicated with them more frequently had lower onset rates of using alcohol and tobacco in the last month, and parents should be targeted in future substance use prevention programs, before their children reach adolescence.

Despite the decline in the median age of US smokers who quit, these data predict that smoking will be a long-term addiction for many adolescents who start now.

Longitudinal models of the development of adolescent smoking and smokeless tobacco (ST) use were tested for a sample of 643 adolescents and indicated that inadequate parental monitoring and association with deviant peers at Time 2 predicted tobacco use at Time 3.

Determinants of the use of alcohol, alcohol without parental knowledge, cigarettes, marijuana, and crack were assessed in predominantly black, urban, fourth- and fifth-grade students and it was suggested that peer behaviors and attitudes are more influential for children's socially censured behaviors than for more socially approved behaviors.

The overall slowing rate of decline in smoking prevalence since 1985 may indicate success of increased tobacco advertising and promotional activities targeted at adolescents or inadequate antitobacco education efforts.

The findings indicate a high rate of stability in self-reporting of substance use, both cross-sectionally and longitudinally, in agreement with other studies of self-reported drug use and suggest that questionnaire may provide highly reliable data for research.

Predictors of smoking onset differed from predictors of continued smoking, underscoring the importance of studying factors related to adolescent smoking onset separately from mechanisms associated with changes in smoking among current smokers.

It is concluded that the public health campaign has been successful in convincing older youth not to smoke, but smoking initiation rates in younger adolescents have changed little, indicating that new approaches to tobacco control are necessary if smoking prevalence in the United States is to be further reduced.
