“…As with other studies conducted in different settings, we found that participants who did not achieve a high school degree, completed vocational (rather than general) education or experienced grade retention were more likely to smoke persistently and at high levels [13,14,[36][37][38]. Smoking is a social behavior -particularly in adolescence -and this finding highlights higher acceptability of tobacco use in socioeconomically disadvantaged groups [39].…”

“…In particular, our data confirm the predictive role of early tobacco and cannabis initiation, which are associated with elevated odds of persistent high-level smoking as well as high-level smoking followed by cessation [13]. Early substance use initiation could be indicative of a propensity for addiction -reflecting both genetic and environmental influences [29,30], which may lead to longterm patterns of substance use.…”

“…Individual and family characteristics, previously associated with tobacco use in adolescence and/or young adulthood which we considered, include participants' age at tobacco and cannabis initiation, juvenile behavioral problems, schooling characteristics, as well as familial characteristics [5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13]22].…”

“…Tobacco use is multifactorial and influenced by family, individual, and school characteristics including parental smoking, male sex, and the experience of behavioral and school difficulties [5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12]. Moreover, among adolescents as among adults, the likelihood of regular tobacco use follows a social gradient, that is persons who belong to socioeconomically disadvantaged groups are more likely to smoke than those who have a more favorable background [13]. These social inequalities have increased over time [14,15].…”

Purpose: Individual and family characteristics early on in life are associated with adolescent smoking; however, their role with regard to long-term tobacco smoking trajectories into young adulthood is not well-known, which is what we set out to study using data from a longitudinal community-based cohort. Methods: We used data from 2,025 youths in France (12–26 years at baseline, 16 years of follow-up), participating in the longitudinal TEMPO cohort study. First, we modeled smoking trajectories from adolescence onwards using Group-Based Trajectory Modeling, by using the declared consumption of cigarettes at different ages. Second, among trajectories of smokers, associations with individual and family characteristics in childhood and adolescence were studied using multinomial logistic regression. Results: We observed 5 smoking trajectories: non-smokers (62.3%), 3 groups of persistent smokers with different levels of tobacco use (low, intermediate, high), and a group characterized by high-level smoking followed by cessation. Among participants who were lifetime smokers (n = 763), the trajectory of tobacco use was associated with early substance use initiation, academic attainment, grade retention, and parental smoking. Early tobacco and cannabis use initiation predicted high-level tobacco use, whether it persisted (OR 2.29, 95% CI 1.23–4.28) or not (OR 2.99, 95% CI 1.59–5.63). Grade retention and parental smoking predicted persistent smoking of intermediate (respectively OR 1.53, 95% CI 1.03–1.92; OR 1.74, 95% CI 1.03–2.92) or high level use (respectively OR 1.74, 95% CI 1.07–2.85; OR 1.70, 95% CI 0.91–3.18). Poor academic attainment predicted all 3 smoking trajectories, especially persistent high-level smoking (no high school degree: OR 5.29, 95% CI 1.65–16.97, vocational degree: OR 1.94, 95% CI 0.99–3.80). Conclusions: Tobacco smoking trajectories from adolescence to adulthood are associated with early substance use initiation, parental smoking, and academic difficulties.

“…Instead, many levels of use should be studied since the progression of use may occur in stages, from experimentation to regular use, as described for cannabis use (Becker, 1963) and alcohol (Graham, Collins, Wugalter, Chung, & Hansen, 1991). As a consequence, the relationship with F-SES may vary at each stage, or for each frequency of use: this kind of relationship has been found for the progression from tobacco and cannabis experimentation to daily use (Legleye, Janssen, Beck, Chau, & Khlat, 2011), but no similar study has been conducted for alcohol use.…”
