“…fewer symptoms of depression). These findings for depressive symptoms and perceived stress are contrary to those from the smoking literature, where both variables are associated with higher levels of tobacco dependence (John et al, 2006;Hu et al, 2006). Thus, in this cohort of male ST users, it does not appear as though more tobacco is used among men who report higher levels of perceived stress and/or depressive symptoms.…”

The objective of the current study was to examine demographic, tobacco-related, and psychosocial factors associated with cotinine concentration in a group of 256 male smokeless tobacco (ST) users living in the Ohio Appalachian region. Participants completed a survey that included questions on: 1) current and past tobacco use behaviors; 2) demographics; 3) tobacco dependence; 4) decisional balance; 5) health behaviors; and 6) perceived stress and depressive symptoms. Saliva samples were obtained for measurement of cotinine. The variables related to salivary cotinine concentration in the multiple regression model were age, marital status, occupation, quit attempts, years of ST use, and tobacco dependence score (adjusted R² = 0.24). Among the 199 snuff only users, cotinine concentration was positively related to age, being divorced/widowed/separated, no quit attempts in the previous year, dependence score, and brand of snuff (adjusted R² = 0.29). This is one of the largest studies to examine influences beyond topography on cotinine concentration in a group of rural ST users. These findings suggest that smokeless tobacco users and smokers share some similarities with respect to tobacco dependence.

“…5 Although cross-sectional, [6][7][8][9][10][11] follow-up, [12][13][14][15] and longitudinal [16][17][18] studies of adolescents have shown a relationship between parental and child smoking, the overall body of research remains equivocal. 5 Previous studies have been limited by the use of retrospective reports of parent smoking, the use of offspring reports of parental smoking and other parent-level risk factors, and the lack of detailed measures encompassing the duration and intensity of parental cigarette use.…”

“…Second, we test for several confounders, such as parental education, marital status, employment, and gender, as well as child depressive affect, self-esteem, closeness to parents, grade point average (GPA), age, race/ethnicity, and gender. 1,2,11,15,17,19,[27][28][29][30][31][32][33] In addition, the single cohort reduces any confounding effects that may be attributable to differing ages of the parents at the various survey waves. Third, data collected directly from siblings allows a unique examination of the influence of older-sibling smoking, which has emerged as an important consideration in intergenerational research.…”

“…Given the critical timing of cigarette initiation during late adolescence (Breslau et al 2001;Hu et al 2006) in conjunction with findings suggesting that one-fifth of the variation in smoking among adolescents is between schools (Ennett et al 1997), schools make a particularly useful level at which to examine gene-environment interactions for smoking behaviors. In this paper we review the literature that links school characteristics to the likelihood that a student will begin to smoke and we focus on four distinct aspects of schools: (a) smoking prevalence; (b) student norms; (c) school policies; and (d) social demographic composition.…”

Do Schools Moderate the Genetic Determinants of Smoking?

This paper uses data from the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent Health to examine the extent to which school-level social and institutional factors moderate genetic tendencies to smoke cigarettes. Our analysis relies on a sub-sample of 1,198 sibling and twin pairs nested within 84 schools. We develop a multilevel modeling extension of regression-based quantitative genetic techniques to calculate school-specific heritability estimates. We show that smoking onset (h 2 = .51) and daily smoking (h 2 = .58) are both genetically influenced. Whereas the genetic influence on smoking onset is consistent across schools, we show that schools moderate the heritability of daily smoking. The heritability of daily smoking is the highest within schools in which the most popular students are also smokers and reduced within schools in which the majority of the students are nonHispanic and white. These findings make important contributions to the literature on geneenvironment interactions.

Epidemiology and Correlates of Daily Smoking and Nicotine Dependence Among Young Adults in the United States

Abstract: There are more common than unique correlates of each smoking stage and across racial/ethnic groups. Primary prevention and interventions addressing the factors tested could be uniform for most chronic smokers irrespective of dependence status and race/ethnicity.
