“…One of the objectives of this study is to further current understanding of the relationship between stressful life events, acculturative stress and smoking behaviors among multicultural adolescents. The smoking behaviors that were addressed covered two levels/stages of smoking, life-time smokers (early experimenters) and those with intentions to smoke (preparers; Elder et al, 1990;Pierce, Choi, Gilpin, Farkas, and Merritt, 1996;Stern, Prochaska, Velicer, and Elder, 1987;Sun, Unger, and Sussman, 2005). Negative personal-related stress was a risk factor for lifetime smoking at the 1-year follow-up; this relationship was found to be confounded by gender.…”

Many studies have addressed the associations between stressful life events and adolescent smoking. Few studies, however, have examined gender differences, specifically with multicultural samples. This longitudinal study examines the relationship between 6 stress subscales and smoking behaviors 716 multicultural U.S. adolescents living in the greater Los Angeles area in 2000-2001. At baseline the ethnic break-down of the sample was 63% Latino and 26% Asian/PI and 70% were 11 years of age. Negative personal events were associated with lifetime smoking and negative school events were associated with intentions to smoke. Stratification of the sample by gender indicated that gender confounded the relationship between negative personal stress and lifetime smoking and negative school stress, positive personal stress and intentions to smoke. Two significant interactions were found. Findings indicate there are differential effects of stressful events between genders which may lead to smoking experimentation or intentions to smoke. Implications and limitations are discussed.

“…62 Perceived vulnerability, however, has been shown to predict readiness to quit smoking and confidence in one's ability to quit (eg, selfefficacy) among young adult childhood cancer survivors. 127 Having a cognitive predisposition or susceptibility to smoking, as defined by expectations of future smoking behavior, has also been found to predict smoking experimentation among nonsmoking adolescents 128,129 and established smoking among adolescents who experiment with cigarettes. 130 Other cognitive variables such as reduced problem-solving and poor decision-making skills has also been found to influence the likelihood of adolescent substance use.…”

Engaging in smoking is particularly risky for children and adolescents with chronic illness whose health status is already compromised because of disease- and treatment-related complications. Yet, some of these youngsters smoke at rates at least comparable to those of their healthy peers. To date, few randomized smoking-prevention and cessation trials have been conducted in children with chronic medical problems. In this review we report on the smoking rates among youngsters with chronic illness, identify specific disease- and treatment-related complications that can be exacerbated by smoking, examine risk factors associated with tobacco use among medically compromised youngsters, and review smoking interventions that have been conducted to date with pediatric populations in the health care setting. The following chronic illnesses are included in this review: asthma, cystic fibrosis, cancer, sickle cell disease, juvenile-onset diabetes, and juvenile rheumatoid arthritis. Objectives for a tobacco-control agenda and recommendations for future tobacco studies in chronically ill pediatric populations are provided. Finally, tobacco counseling strategies are suggested for clinicians who treat these youngsters in their practices.

“…The development of a predisposition to smoke has received little research attention. Some investigators focus on adolescents who are contemplating smoking, as indicated by their expressed intentions to smoke 11 , 12 . However, the correlation between intention to smoke and future smoking is not high 13 , 14 …”

Objective -To assess the possible use fulness and validity of a new measure to identify adolescents at risk of smoking cigarettes. Design -The new measure was compared with standard ones with respect to their ability to identify young adolescents at risk of later smoking cigarettes; and the correlation between known risk factors for smoking and both the new and the standard measure of current smoking was assessed.Setting and subjects -Cross-sectional, population-based 1992 California
