This study examines whether parental smoking and single parenting were related to adolescents' school achievement and anti-smoking parental practices as well as how these factors predicted later smoking. The sample comprised 1163 Finnish students in Grades 7 through 9. Results show that at the beginning of the seventh grade, parental smoking and single parenting were related to adolescents' lower levels of school achievement. Moreover, parental smoking had moderate association with lack of house smoking rules. At the beginning of the ninth grade, these associations were strengthened and lack of house smoking rules as well as loosened perceived parental punishment for smoking was related to both parental smoking and single parenting. The likelihood of ninth grade regular smoking was greater among adolescents whose parents smoked, who had no smoking rules in their homes and had substandard school achievement. These results suggest that smoking parents and single parents had similar anti-smoking regulations for their children at the baseline but once children became older smoking parents were not able to maintain these rules as successfully as non-smoking parents and families with two parents. Motivating parents to uphold these anti-smoking regulations offers a prospective intervention opportunity.
本研究考察了父母吸烟和单亲家庭是否与青少年的学业成绩和反吸烟父母行为有关，以及这些因素如何预测他们以后吸烟的情况。该样本包括来自芬兰 7 至 9 年级的 1163 名学生。结果表明，在七年级开始时，父母吸烟和单亲家庭与青少年较低的学业成绩有关。此外，父母吸烟与缺乏家庭吸烟规则有中等关联。到了九年级，这些关联得到了加强，缺乏家庭吸烟规则以及放松对吸烟的父母的感知惩罚与父母吸烟和单亲家庭有关。如果父母吸烟，家里没有吸烟规则，学业成绩不佳，那么青少年在九年级定期吸烟的可能性就更大。这些结果表明，吸烟的父母和单亲父母在基线时对孩子有类似的反吸烟规定，但一旦孩子长大，吸烟的父母就不能像不吸烟的父母和双亲家庭那样成功地维持这些规定。激励父母坚持这些反吸烟规定提供了一个前瞻性的干预机会。
