Why do some teenagers start smoking? Why do some become heavy smokers? Researchers from the University of Montreal set out to find the answers to these questions.
  • Dr. Jennifer O’Loughlin and her colleagues studied 877 students for five years starting when they were 13-years old.
  • None of the children were smoking at the beginning of the study.
  • By the time participants were 18 years old, 48 percent were smoking.
  • Among the smoking group, 21 percent of the teens were smoking every day.
Dr. O’Loughlin's research team drew the following conclusions from their research:
  • Children from single-family homes and those who perform poorly in school are at increased risk of becoming smokers.
  • Having parents, teachers, siblings, and/or friends who smoke increase their risk by two or three times.
  • Teenagers who felt stressed, and had trouble controlling their impulses were also more likely to smoke.
Some factors that did not increase the risk for teen smoking included gender, parents’ education, depression, worries about weight, excessive risk taking, involvement in sports, and television watching.
