TL;DR
Smoking rates among older adolescents obtained by a unique follow-up of a cohort originally identified in the seventh grade exceeded 70 per cent in all age-sex groups and included transfers and dropouts.
Abstract
This study reports daily smoking rates among older adolescents obtained by a unique follow-up of a cohort originally identified in the seventh grade. Those no longer in their original school districts were located and interviewed by telephone. Smoking rates among dropouts exceeded 70 per cent in all age-sex groups. Smoking rates among transfers were as high as those among absentees. Including these subgroups raised smoking prevalence rates among older adolescents substantially.

Of the smokers those who were advised in advance of the biological test were twice as likely to admit cigarette use in the past week compared to those who had been advised of the testing procedure only after they had completed their questionnaire.

196 Citations1987David M. Murray, Cheryl L. Perry
The data indicate that the pipeline procedures significantly increase disclosure of tobacco and marijuana use when students are promised confidentiality but not anonymity, however, when anonymity was assured, disclosure of cigarette use was just as high without the pipeline; for marijuana use, disclosure was higher without the Pipeline; no effects were observed for alcohol disclosure.

Data indicate that habitual smoking appears to develop in a gradual fashion and that several years may pass between initial experimentation and adult levels of smoking, suggesting that inhalation patterns may vary as a function of age or years smoking.

Data suggest that a program which teaches specific skills to resist social pressures to begin smoking and which teaches students about the short term physiological consequences of smoking is more effective than a programWhich concentrates on long term health consequences.

Saliva thiocyanate determination did not provide a satisfactory objective method of validating the self-reported smoking of children in this age group, and prior knowledge that a scientific test predicting smoking behaviour would be taken after completion of a questionnaire on smoking increased theSelf-reportage of experimental smoking.

New data point to sharply higher smoking levels than those reported elsewhere and suggest that the traditional methods for measuring adolescent smoking may be inadequate, raising questions about whether adolescent smoking levels are truly declining.
