A survey was conducted among students aged from 10 to 15 in four Los Angeles junior high schools to determine how parental smoking behavior affects youth smoking. The survey indicated that children of smoking parents were more inclined to smoke than children of non-smokers and were more resistant to smoking prevention programs. Males were more inclined to be influenced by parental smoking than females. It was suggested that while parental smoking is a significant factor in the decision to smoke, additional studies on factors such as tobacco advertising and peer pressure should be conducted.
