“…Any household smoking (usually defined as either living with a smoker or that an adult smokes in the home) increased the risk by 1.92 (95% CI 1.70 to 2.16, 12 studies; I 2 =80%; figure 8 in online supplement) 5 7 43 50 52 59 64 67 78–81. No significant differences in effect size were seen between the subgroup analyses for quality or definition for smoking status (test for subgroup differences, p=0.86 and p=0.17, respectively).…”

Background There is increasing evidence that contact with other smokers, particularly in the family, is a strong determinant of risk of smoking uptake. A systematic review and meta-analysis of the magnitude of these effects is reported. Methods Studies were identified by searching four databases to March 2009 and proceedings from international conferences. Meta-analyses were performed using random effects, with results presented as pooled ORs with 95% CIs. Results 58 studies were included in the meta-analyses. The relative odds of uptake of smoking in children were increased significantly if at least one parent smoked (OR 1.72, 95% CI 1.59 to 1.86), more so by smoking by the mother (OR 2.19, 95% CI 1.73 to 2.79) than the father (OR 1.66, 95% CI 1.42 to 1.94), and if both parents smoked (OR 2.73, 95% CI 2.28 to 3.28). Smoking by a sibling increased the odds of smoking uptake by 2.30 (95% CI 1.85 to 2.86) and smoking by any household member by 1.92 (95% CI 1.70 to 2.16). After adjusting for overestimation of RRs it is estimated that, in England and Wales, around 17 000 young people take up smoking by the age of 15 each year as a consequence of exposure to household smoking. Conclusions Parental and sibling smoking is a strong and significant determinant of the risk of smoking uptake by children and young people and, as such, is a major and entirely avoidable health risk. Children should be protected from exposure to smoking behaviour, especially by family members.

“…The variable of school level remained as an insignificant factor, and the variables of cigarette smoking in the family and dissatisfaction of school life changed from being a significant to a nonsignificant predictor when adding cigarette smoking experience to the statistical model. According to earlier reports, the prevalence rates of tobacco product use, such as cigarette, ST, and water pipe cigarette, among older students and students with smoking persons in their families were higher than among the younger students and those without smoking persons in their families [12]. In detail, when earlier researchers examined male ST users by grade, they reported 7% of 5th graders, 22% of 8th graders, and 32% of 11th graders to be ST users [13].…”

“…It is possible that pressure from friends mainly influences adolescents who start smoking later and who have been able to withstand other influences, such as father's and friends' smoking. One of the few studies in which ASE factors were investigated among adolescents who initiated smoking early and late showed that parental and friends' smoking played a role among those who started early, whereas only friends' smoking influenced those who started later (33). Most studies on self-efficacy to resist pressure to smoke and smoking initiation in which outcomes other than lifetime smoking were used support the hypothesis that self-efficacy to resist pressure to smoke delays smoking initiation (32,34,35).…”

Aims: The aim of the present study was to examine the association between social-cognitive factors, school factors, and smoking initiation among adolescents who had never smoked. Methods: The study was based on longitudinal data on Danish adolescents attending randomly selected public schools. Adolescents enrolled in grade 7 (mean age, 13 years) who had never smoked (n = 912) were followed up for 6 months after baseline. Those who had still never smoked were followed up again 18 months after baseline, in grade 8 (n = 442). Social-cognitive factors were examined with five measures: self-efficacy, social influence (norms), social influence (behavior), social influence (pressure), and attitude. We used multilevel analyses to estimate the associations between social-cognitive factors at baseline and smoking initiation as well as the random effects of school, school class, and gender group in the school class. Results: At the first follow-up, we found significant associations between attitude, father's smoking, best friend's smoking, and smoking initiation. At the second follow-up, we found a significant association with pressure to smoke from friends. Of the school factors, gender group in the school class showed an effect at both first and second follow-up. Conclusion: Our results suggest that father's smoking, best friend's smoking, attitude, and pressure to smoke from friends affect smoking initiation. The results for school factors suggest an effect of classmates of the same gender, which has not previously been examined longitudinally. (Cancer Epidemiol Biomarkers Prev 2009;18(2):384 -92)
