To examine the relationship of demographic and social influence with initiation of cigarette use among undergraduates.
Students were mailed anonymous surveys including 437 participants who indicated that they had not smoked cigarettes before age 18. Of those, 107 became late initiators (24%), and 330 remained never smokers (76%).
Those who drank alcohol in college and had at least 1 parent with a college education were more likely to initiate smoking than were those who did not drink and neither parent had attended college.
Strategies that focus on reducing alcohol and tobacco use need to be tested.
研究大学生人口统计学特征和社会影响因素与开始吸烟之间的关系。
向学生邮寄匿名调查问卷，共437名参与者表示他们在18岁之前没有吸烟。其中，107人成为晚期吸烟者（24%），330人仍然从不吸烟（76%）。
在大学饮酒且至少有一位父母受过大学教育的学生比不饮酒且父母均未上过大学的学生更有可能开始吸烟。
需要测试侧重于减少酒精和烟草使用的策略。
