“…The finding that those with and without children are just as likely to smoke in cars with nonsmokers follows a study of 6,985 adults in the state of California that found that the presence of children in the home did not predict car smoking bans for smokers (Norman et al, 1999).…”

“…De Vries [21] found that low SES adolescents live in a social environment in which smoking is more prevalent, they experience greater pressure to smoke, perceive stronger social attitudes in favour of smoking from parents and friends, have a more positive (undesirable) attitude toward smoking themselves and show low self-effi cacy in comparison with high SES adolescents. According to Norman et al [40] , low SES parents use smoking bans at home less frequently in comparison with high SES parents.…”

With the aim of analysing the importance of psycho-social factors in predicting adolescents’ smoking behaviour, a model of the interrelations between socio-economic status, parents’, peers’ and adolescents’ own smoking behaviours was tested. The sample consisted of 2,616 adolescents. LISREL analyses were used to support the model; males and females were evaluated separately. Peers’ smoking is the strongest predictor of adolescent smoking. Parents’ smoking behaviour influences adolescents’ smoking directly, but also indirectly through the parents’ influence on peers’ smoking behaviour. Socio-economic status influences adolescent smoking indirectly through its influence on parents’ and peers’ smoking behaviour. Our model is significant in both males and females and explains 42–51% of the variance in adolescent smoking behaviour. Accentuation of peers’ influence on adolescents’ smoking behaviour without considering the interrelations between the influence of socio-economic status, parents and peers may lead us to incorrect conclusions in research as well as in prevention.

“…Existing research suggests that smoking restrictions in cars are less common than those at home. In California, two out of three family cars had a complete smoking ban in 1996 and 1998 [15,16], compared to almost four out of five homes with complete smoking bans. Among smokers, however, only 29% had a complete car smoking ban, and 43% had a complete home smoking ban.…”

Secondhand smoke (SHS) causes premature death and disease in children and adults, and the scientific evidence indicates that there is no risk-free level of exposure to SHS. Smoking tobacco in a car can pollute the microenvironment of the car with residual SHS, leaving telltale signs to potential buyers (e.g., odor, used ash tray). This study examined (a) the proportion of used cars sold in the private party market that may be polluted with tobacco smoke and (b) whether asking prices of smoker and nonsmoker cars differed for cars of otherwise equivalent value. A random sample of 1,642 private party sellers were interviewed by telephone, and content analyses of print advertisements were conducted. Findings indicate that 22% of used cars were advertised by smokers or had been smoked in during the previous year. Among nonsmokers, 94% did not allow smoking in their car during the past year. Only 33% of smokers had the same restrictions. The smoking status of the seller and tobacco use in the car were significantly (p < .01) associated with the asking price independent of a car's Kelley Blue Book value (KBB). Used nonsmoker cars were offered at a considerable premium above their KBB value (>11%) and above comparable smoker cars (7-9%). These findings suggest that community preferences are affecting the value of smokefree cars. New directions for research, tobacco control policies, and health education are discussed to further reduce smoking behavior, to help consumers make informed purchasing decisions, and to protect nonsmokers from SHS exposure.
