“…There are several explanations for these findings. First, smoking, as a multifaceted behavior, is influenced by different factors, such as peer pressure, social factors, risk-taking behavior, advertising and media influence, and psychological factors (Morgenstern, Sargent, Engels, Florek, & Hanewinkel, 2013;Jung & Chung, 2013;Bertholet, Faouzi, Studer, Daeppen, & Gmel, 2013;Scherrer et al, 2012;Kristjansson et al, 2010;Kristjansson et al, 2009;Naing et al, 2004;Sarason, Mankowski, Peterson, & Dinh, 1992). Thus, in order to understand smoking behavior, all these factors and their interrelations and implications have to be considered.…”

Objective: Youth smoking has long been a major concern at individual, familial, and national levels. The purpose of the current study was to investigate the role of parent-child relationship in the smoking behavior and smoking intensity among college students. We also aimed to investigate gender-specific variations in the association between mother-child and father-child relationships and smoking behavior and its intensity among female and male college students. Methods:The sample consisted of college students (N=242: 142 smokers, 99 nonsmokers) who were selected using snowball sampling method among the students of Guilan University. Participants completed the parent-child relationship survey and Fagerstrom Test for Nicotine Dependence. Binary and multinomial logistic regressions were used for analyzing. Results:Results showed that mother-child relationship, but not father-child relationship, was the significant predictor of smoking status. Also, mother-child relationship could predict low to moderate levels of dependence on nicotine. Finally, among male students, mother-child relationship was the significant predictor of smoking. Neither mother-child nor father-child relationships were the significant predictors of smoking status among female students. Conclusion:Further research is needed to clear our understanding of gender-specific correlates of smoking among youth.

“…Migration background is known to be strongly correlated with socio-economic status (SES), in both adults (Lorant et al, 2008) and adolescents (Georgiades et al, 2013;Morgenstern et al, 2013;Murad et al, 2003). The analysis was thus controlled by the Family Affluence Scale (FAS).…”

“…Studies have shown that media images of smoking, particularly in movies, are linked to smoking and smoking initiation among adolescents. [35][36][37][38][39][40] Therefore, media literacy-or the ability to analyze and evaluate media messages 41 -has been proposed as a tool to better interpret media messages related to smoking, potentially influencing attitudes towards smoking and smoking behavior. Prior studies have shown an association between the level of smoking media literacy and smoking status among adolescents in the USA and in Jujuy, Argentina, as well as in US college students.…”

BACKGROUND: Physicians in Argentina smoke at rates similar to the general population, and do not have a clear role in tobacco control strategies. OBJECTIVE: To describe the attitudes and knowledge of medical students and recent graduates towards smoking behavior in Argentina. DESIGN: Cross-sectional self-administered online survey conducted in 2011. PARTICIPANTS: Medical students and recent medical graduates from the University of Buenos Aires. MAIN MEASURES: Attitudes and knowledge were evaluated by responses to 16 statements regarding the effects of smoking cigarettes and the role of physicians in tobacco control. Rates of agreement with a full ban on indoor smoking in different public settings were assessed. KEY RESULTS: The sample included 1659 participants (response rate: 35.1 %), 453 of whom (27.3 %) were current smokers. Only 52 % of participants agreed that doctors should set an example for their patients by not smoking, 30.9 % thought that medical advice had little effect on patients' cessation behavior, and 19.4 % believed that physicians could decline to care for smoking patients who failed to quit. In adjusted logistic regression models, current smokers had less supportive attitudes about tobacco control and were less likely than non-smokers to agree with a full indoor smoking ban in hospitals ( Recent medical graduates had more accurate knowledge about cessation and were more likely to agree with a full smoking ban in recreational venues. CONCLUSIONS: Although most participants reported a strong anti-tobacco attitude, a proportion still failed to recognize the importance of their role as physicians in tobacco control strategies. Current smokers and current students were less likely to support indoor smoking bans. Specific educational curricula could address these factors.
