What influences youths to smoke

In 2002, according to the Youth Smoking Survey, 25% of youth, in grades 5 through 9, reported ever trying any tobacco product, compared to 42% in 1994. Smoking cigarettes (23% in 2002, 40% in 1994) was the most common form of trying tobacco. Smoking prevalence amongst males and females was generally the same in 2002.

Overall, regardless of the smoking status, the reported use or experimentation with tobacco fell by approximately 50% for those who had smoked a whole discount cigarette over the last 10 years. The mean age of smoking a whole cigarette for the first time was 11 years old in both 1994 and 2002.

Youth smoking behaviour is strongly influenced by people in the social environment. Important people in the social environment include friends, parents, and other people who might live in the youth's home (e.g., siblings).

The smoking behaviour of close friends is important. Overall, 28% of youth in grades 5-9 have one or more close friends who smoke. The greater the number of close friends who smoke, the more likely a youth is to smoke. The same relationship exists for males and females. The number of youth with close friends who smoke has declined since 1994.

The smoking behaviour of parents is also important. A youth with a father or mother who smokes is more likely to smoke. A female youth is more likely than a male youth to smoke if she has a smoking parent. When both parents smoke, a youth is more likely to smoke than when only one parent smokes. The number of youth who have a father and/or mother who smokes has declined since 1994.

Parental attitudes about youth smoking are related to youth smoking behaviour. Permissive attitudes tend to promote smoking. However, the majority of youth smokers reported their parents are not aware of their smoking.

Smoking within the home is also related to youth smoking behaviour. Overall, 30% of youth live in a home with one or more people who smoke. The greater the number of smokers inside the home the more likely a youth is to smoke. Youth who have ever smoked inside their home are also more likely to be daily smokers. The number of youth living in a home where no one smokes inside has increased since 1994.

Parents' educational attainment continues to be strongly related to smoking among their children.
