“…Many studies have reported the association between parents smoking habits and their children's smoking behavior Hoving et al, 2007). However in our study we did not find significant association between any of the smoking stages and parents' smoking behavior.…”

Background: To identify the prevalence of different stages of smoking and differences in associated risk factors. Materials and Methods: Thos longitudinal study started in February 2011 and the subjects were 2552 form one students aged between twelve to thirteen years of from 15 government secondary schools of Kinta, Perak. Data on demographic, parental, school and peer factors were collected using a self-administered questionnaire. We examined the effects of peer, school and parental factors on the five stages of smoking; never smokers, susceptible never smokers, experimenters, current smokers and ex-smokers, at baseline. Results: In the sample, 19.3% were susceptible never smokers, 5.5% were current smokers 6% were experimenters and 3.1% were ex-smokers. Gender, ethnicity, best friends' smoking status, high peer pressure, higher number of relatives who smoked and parental monitoring were found to be associated with smoking stages. Presence of parent-teen conflict was only associated with susceptible never smokers and experimenters whereas absence of home discussion on smoking hazards was associated with susceptible never smokers and current smokers. Conclusions: We identified variations in the factors associated with the different stages of smoking. Our results highlight that anti-smoking strategies should be tailored according to the different smoking stages.

“…Although the results have been mixed, our findings support those that suggest an association between father's smoking and smoking initiation (22, 24 -27). In line with our results, most previous studies, with either lifetime smoking as the outcome (27) or not (28,29), did not find support for an association between social norms and smoking initiation. However, the results of previous studies vary, possibly due to the use of different measures.…”

“…Mixed results have also been found with respect to pressure from friends. Most studies focused on smoking outcome other than lifetime smoking and found an effect of pressure on, for example, monthly smoking (28). In our study, pressure from friends was significantly associated with smoking initiation only at the second follow-up.…”

“…To our knowledge, only one previous study addressed gender group in the school class and smoking status in a cross-sectional design and found that it affected smoking status (11). In addition, gender-specific influence on smoking initiation in general is fairly unexplored but a recent study suggested that girls are more susceptible to social pressure compared with boys, whereas attitude and parental norms are more strongly associated with smoking among boys (28). As this is the first study in which gender group in the school class has been explored longitudinally, more studies are needed on what the group-level factors capture and how gender differences may be at play in predictors of smoking initiation.…”

Aims: The aim of the present study was to examine the association between social-cognitive factors, school factors, and smoking initiation among adolescents who had never smoked. Methods: The study was based on longitudinal data on Danish adolescents attending randomly selected public schools. Adolescents enrolled in grade 7 (mean age, 13 years) who had never smoked (n = 912) were followed up for 6 months after baseline. Those who had still never smoked were followed up again 18 months after baseline, in grade 8 (n = 442). Social-cognitive factors were examined with five measures: self-efficacy, social influence (norms), social influence (behavior), social influence (pressure), and attitude. We used multilevel analyses to estimate the associations between social-cognitive factors at baseline and smoking initiation as well as the random effects of school, school class, and gender group in the school class. Results: At the first follow-up, we found significant associations between attitude, father's smoking, best friend's smoking, and smoking initiation. At the second follow-up, we found a significant association with pressure to smoke from friends. Of the school factors, gender group in the school class showed an effect at both first and second follow-up. Conclusion: Our results suggest that father's smoking, best friend's smoking, attitude, and pressure to smoke from friends affect smoking initiation. The results for school factors suggest an effect of classmates of the same gender, which has not previously been examined longitudinally. (Cancer Epidemiol Biomarkers Prev 2009;18(2):384 -92)

“…First, we aim to cross-sectionally and prospectively assess the importance of socio-demographic factors as well as attitudinal, social, self-efficacy and intentional beliefs in predicting smoking onset among Romanian adolescents. Based on the assumptions from the I-Change Model and findings from previous studies (14)(15)(16)(17)(18)(19), we expect that more favourable attitudes to smoking, more social influences in favour of smoking from peers and family, lower self-efficacy beliefs in refraining from smoking in different situations and…”

Second, we compare the outcomes and amount of variance explained when using a crosssectional compared to a longitudinal design. METHODS Sample and procedureIn spring 2004, five senior high schools from ClujNapoca, a city in north-west Romania with approximately 330,000 inhabitants and 39 high schools, were randomly chosen and approached to participate in a survey about adolescent smoking behaviour. Time and financial constraints limited the inclusion of more schools in the study. The principals of the five schools were informed about the survey during individual meetings with the research team; all principals agreed to participate, and all first-year classes from the five schools were involved in the survey. Consent was obtained from the school administration only, in line with standard procedure in Romania. Data were gathered in two waves. A baseline measurement was conducted in May-June 2004 (T1) among students from 19 first-year senior high school classes (aged 15 to 17), and a follow-up measurement was performed 12 months later (T2). The students were not informed in advance about the date on which the assessment would take place. The research team administered the questionnaires to each class; classroom completion of the questionnaire took approximately 50 minutes. Students were asked to read an introductory letter. They were assured that the researchers would treat their questionnaires confidentially and that they could refuse to participate by leaving the questionnaire blank. They put their completed questionnaires in an envelope, sealed it and wrote their names on the envelope and then the researchers collected the envelopes. No refusals were recorded; non-participation was exclusively due to absence of students on the day of assessment. The questionnaires were filled in by 473 students at T1 and 482 students at T2. A total of 416 students participated in both measurements; 66.5% of these were girls.
