“…Considering the key role of social support and emotional support, and their effect on hardiness, students who live away from their families experience less hardiness perhaps due to insufficient emotional support especially in the freshman year. The results of the previous studies show that presence of addicted person in the family is an important factor in addiction potential (36,37). Contrary to expectation, this study shows that students who have addicted person in the family reported lower extents of addiction potential compared to those who did not have an addicted family member.…”

Background: Hardiness as one of the personality traits is an important factor in predisposing risky behaviors including addiction. Objectives: This research examines the relationship between hardiness and addiction potential and identifies socio-economic determinants of hardiness and tendency to addiction among medical students in Iran. Materials and Methods: In this study, 577 medical students selected based on the convenience sampling method were examined. They were selected from five faculties of Qazvin University of Medical Sciences. Data were collected on hardiness scale, addiction potential scale and demographic variables. Data analysis included descriptive and inferential statistics powered by SPSS (v. 22). Results: Research results showed that there was a negative relationship between hardiness and addiction potential (r = -227, P < 0.001). Males had a higher level of hardiness (P < 0.05) and lower addiction potential than females (P < 0.01). Respondents who had an addicted person in their family showed a lower addiction potential than those who did not have an addicted family member (P < 0.01). Being in a family with cold relationships was associated with higher levels of hardiness; they showed less addiction potential compared to persons who enjoyed a warm family with friendly relationships (P < 0.01), but lower levels of hardiness. Conclusions: Hardiness had a significant negative relationship with tendency to addiction. Regarding demographic factors that were found to be the predictors of hardiness and addiction potential, a consistent pattern was observed in which those who had high tendency for addition were low in hardiness. This is not surprising since hardiness is a shield that provides a defense mechanism for coping behavior when a person is faced with negative life events or adverse life conditions. Based on the results, individuals high in hardiness are perhaps less likely to resort to drugs. However, further researches are recommended on this subject.

“…This is consistent with our findings that students who think their parents will not mind whether they smoked when they were older are more likely to have experimented with smoking. Our study also confirmed a positive association between experimenting with smoking and smoking behaviors of peers among very young students in Taiwan and South Korea [44,50]. Specifically, youth behaviors are heavily shaped by social interaction with peers; in fact, the utility of a given activity depends on the actions of their peers [51,52].…”

“…Specifically, youth behaviors are heavily shaped by social interaction with peers; in fact, the utility of a given activity depends on the actions of their peers [51,52]. A friend who smokes may provide a young person with access to cigarettes or exert pressure on that individual to initiate smoking [44,50,53]. Although a youth may select friends who smoke because smoking peers are more accepting of others who smoke (selection effect), studies have provided evidence in support of the peer effect (i.e., having friends who smoke causally increases the risk of smoking initiation) instead of the selection effect [54,55].…”

The aim of this study was to investigate experimentation with smoking among primary school students in China. Data were acquired from a recent survey of 4,073 students in grades 4 to 6 (ages 9–12) in 11 primary schools of Ningbo City. The questions were adapted from the Global Youth Tobacco Survey (GYTS). Results suggest that although the Chinese Ministry of Education (MOE) encourages smoke-free schools, experimentation with cigarettes remains a serious problem among primary school students in China. Peers, family members, and the school environment play important roles in influencing smoking experimentation among students. Having a friend who smoked, seeing a family member smoke, and observing a teacher smoking on campus predicted a higher risk of experimentation with smoking; the exposure to anti-tobacco materials at school predicted a lower risk of experimentation with smoking. The evidence suggests that public health practitioners and policymakers should seek to ensure the implementation of smoke-free policies and that intervention should target young people, families, and communities to curb the commencement of smoking among children and adolescents in China.

“…8,9 The results indicated that most children were already familiar with tobacco use since they commonly watched cigarette smoking in family. In addition, Gilman, et al 10 (New England), Sirirassamee, et al 11 (Thailand), Kim, et al 12 (South Korea) observed that parental smoking status seemed like a stronger predictor on smoking among adolescents. In the present study, the strongest family related predictor was the smoking status of the mother.…”

“…Smoking behaviour is a learning process from higher level status in vertical level social context, from parents to a kid, whilst they unconsciously give an example to children on cigarette use during smoking. 6,13 However, Sirirassamee, et al 11 and Kim, et al 12 studies did not include the smoking status of father and mother separately. Since the prevalence of children with a father who smoked was high, children were more likely familiar with male smokers than female smokers.…”

In Indonesia, the prevalence of smoking among 5 -9 years old children has increased from 0.4% in 2001 to 2% in 2007. Among present adults smokers (>20 years), 17% started to smoke before the age of 13 years. This study identified factors related to smoking behaviour among 8 -12 years old children in Jakarta, Indonesia using a questionnaire based cross sectional survey to obtain smoking status and possible predictors towards smoking habit. The total sample size was 1,097 students among 3 rd -7 th grade students from schools in Jakarta. Self-reported smoking status was defined as whether the child had smoked tobacco within the past two months prior to the interview. The prevalence of smoking was 13.4%. Logistic regression analysis showed that high parental approval on tobacco use (OR=13.4; CI 95%: 5.1 -35.1) was the strongest predictor on children smoking status, followed by low parental control (OR=12.1; CI 95%: 6.9 -21.2), being a male compared to a female (OR=10.7; CI 95%: 5.3 -21.7), mother (OR=10.58; CI 95%: 3.96 -28.28), father (OR=7.69; CI 95%: 3.59 -16.47), sibling (OR=7.91; CI 95%: 4.41 -14.17) smoking status. Smoking parents and siblings, low parental control, and high parental approval on smoking were related to higher odds of smoking among children. The results were used as a rationale for suggestions and recommendations of relevance for future intervention programs and tobacco related research with specific focus on children.Keywords: Children, parental control, parental support, smoking, tobacco Abstrak Prevalensi anak perokok umur 5-9 tahun di Indonesia meningkat dari 0,4% di tahun 2001 menjadi 2% di tahun 2007. Tujuh belas persen perokok dewasa menyatakan mulai merokok ketika berumur di bawah 13 tahun. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menentukan faktor terkait perilaku merokok anak umur 8-12 tahun di Jakarta dengan menggunakan pendekatan potong lintang untuk menjaring perokok anak dan faktor yang mungkin menyebabkan perilaku tersebut. Kuesioner digunakan untuk menjaring status Artikel Penelitian perilaku merokok anak dalam dua bulan terakhir sebelum survei. Total 1.097 murid kelas 3 sampai 7 di Jakarta menjadi sampel penelitian dengan 13,4% responden merokok dalam 2 bulan terakhir. Analisis regresi logistik menunjukkan bahwa pembolehan merokok di dalam rumah oleh orang tua (OR=13,4; CI 95%: 5,1 -35,1) menjadi penyebab terkuat, diikuti dengan rendahnya kontrol orang tua (OR=12,1; CI 95%: 6,9 -21,2), siswa laki-laki (OR=10,7; CI 95%: 5,3 -21,7), ibu (OR=10.58; CI 95%: 3.96 -28.28), ayah (OR=7,69; CI 95%: 3,59 -16,47), dan saudara kandung yang perokok (OR=7,91; CI 95%: 4,41 -14,17). Orang tua dan saudara kandung yang merokok, rendahnya pengawasan orang tua, dan tingginya pembolehan merokok di dalam rumah menjadi penyebab perilaku merokok anak umur 8-12 tahun. Hasil penelitian dapat dimanfaatkan sebagai rekomendasi untuk program intervensi di masa depan dan penelitian terkait tembakau dengan fokus kepada anak-anak.Kata kunci: Anak, kontrol orang tua, dukungan orang tua, merokok, tembakau
