During one school year a health habits survey investigated cigarette smoking behavior in a total biracial population of children, ages 8 to 17 years old. Information was collected concerning each child's first smoking experience. Over 60 per cent of the children reported they were given their first cigarettes. Half of those starting before age 12 smoked their first cigarettes with a family member or an older fried. The smoking habit appears to have become established by age 14, with a two-year gap between initiation and maintenance.
在一学年期间,一项健康习惯调查研究了8至17岁儿童的双种族总体人群中的吸烟行为。收集了有关每个孩子首次吸烟经历的信息。超过60%的儿童报告称他们是被给予第一支香烟的。在12岁之前开始吸烟的孩子中,有一半是与家庭成员或年长的朋友一起吸第一支烟的。吸烟习惯似乎在14岁时就已形成,从开始吸烟到养成习惯有两年的间隔。
