  • Title: Parental communication not to smoke and adolescent cigarette smokers' readiness to quit: differences by age.
    Author: Bandi P, Cokkinides VE, Westmaas JL, Ward E.
    Journal: J Adolesc Health; 2008 Dec; 43(6):612-5. PubMed ID: 19027651.
    Abstract:
    There is limited information on the relationship between parental practices that specifically discourage current cigarette smoking and adolescent cessation, and how this relationship varies by age. Among 1629 adolescent smokers, self-reported receipt of parental communication not to smoke was significantly and positively associated with readiness to quit. The strength and significance of this association decreased from early to middle adolescence and was not significant in late adolescence.
