“…It was shown that adolescents with inattention were more reluctant to accept the negative consequences of smoking. This contrasts with those with clinical type of hyperactivity/impulsivity who more appreciated the positive consequences, such as 'expected benefit' (OR = 5.3), 'affect control' (OR = 2.6), and 'reduced boredom' (OR = 3.1) (Foster, Racicot, & McGrath, 2012). Of further note is that in this study inattentive female adolescents appreciated well reduced weight as a consequence of smoking.…”

“…The hypothesis that typical traits of ADHD predispose for early smoking initiation and nicotine dependence (Foster, Racicot, & McGrath, 2012;Hakulinen et al, 2015;Kvaavik & Rise, 2012) and make it difficult to quit smoking may partly explain the high prevalence of tobacco use among ADHD subjects. One would therefore expect that treatment of ADHD with methylphenidate would subside or dampen these predisposing effects.…”

“…Negative affect may predispose adolescents to perceive ND symptoms and expect smoking will help curb unpleasant emotions. Foster et al (2012) found never-smoking adolescents with clinical levels of impulsivity were more likely to believe smoking controls affect and reduces boredom. These adolescents are at increased risk of initiating smoking.…”

Background-Recent cross-sectional studies suggest some adolescents who have never smoked cigarettes experience nicotine dependence (ND) symptoms and that exposure to second-hand smoke, social exposure to smoking, and alcohol use are plausible correlates. The aim of this study was to replicate and extend these findings by investigating possible predictors of ND symptoms longitudinally.Method-Participants included 847 secondary school students who had never smoked cigarettes enrolled in the Nicotine Dependence in Teens Study. Adolescents completed self-report questionnaires measuring smoking status, ND symptoms, and risk factors for ND in smokers (i.e., socio-demographic indicators, social exposure to smoking, psychosocial indicators, and substance use) in 20 survey cycles from 7 to 11th grade. Generalized estimating equations, which account for repeated measures within individuals, were used to test the predictors of ND symptoms. Results-Consistent ContributorsSimon Racicot developed the research question, conducted the literature review, undertook the statistical analyses, interpreted the results, and wrote and revised the manuscript. Jennifer J. McGrath supervised the literature review, the statistical analyses, and revised the manuscript. Igor Karp designed the analytical plan and revised the manuscript. Jennifer O'Loughlin designed the study, contributed to the protocol development, and revised the manuscript. All authors read and approved the final manuscript for submission. Conflict of interestThere is no conflict of interest. Conclusions-Replicating previous cross-sectional findings, peer smoking and alcohol use predicted ND symptoms among never-smoking adolescents. Extending these findings, previous predictors only observed among ever-smokers, including socio-demographic and psychosocial indicators, also predicted ND symptoms. This longitudinal investigation demonstrated the temporal relation of the predictors preceding ND symptoms. Future research should consider longer prospective studies with younger children to capture early onset of ND symptoms and with longer follow-up to detect eventual smoking uptake.

“…The aim of the current study was to examine whether greater exposure to airborne nicotine via SHS increases risk of initiation precursors among never-smoking adolescents. Precursors were selected intentionally on the basis of their established relations with smoking behavior and included the following: (1) smoking expectancies, which develop before smoking initiation 39 and contribute to smoking 40 ; (2) aversion to SHS exposure, which is associated with home smoking bans, 41 and in turn, a lower likelihood of smoking initiation 42 ; (3) nicotine dependence symptoms among adolescent never-smokers, 43 which predict the first cigarette puff 24 ; and (4) smoking susceptibility, which is a well-established predictor of smoking initiation 38 and is associated with sensitivity to SHS exposure. 34 This study investigated the differential effects of social exposure to smoking and pharmacological exposure to airborne nicotine on smoking precursors.…”
