Parental prompts as risk factors for adolescent trial smoking: results of a prospective cohort study.
Our earlier cross-sectional research suggested that smoking parents, particularly Latino parents, engage in behaviors that may prompt their children to smoke (e.g., request their child to start the parent's cigarette in his/her own mouth). This prospective study of 478 adolescent never-smokers, mostly Latino, suggests that parental prompts to smoke were not significantly related to smoking initiation among adolescents over a 1-year period.
