Abstract: OBJECTIVES: This study examined cigarette smoking attitudes, peer and parental influence, and first use among children in southeastern Louisiana. METHODS: Data from 933 children in grades 3 through 6 in the Bogalusa Heart Study (1993 through 1994) were analyzed. RESULTS: Fifteen percent of the children had tried smoking. Of these, 40% first smoked with a family member, and 46% obtained their first cigarette from a family member or from home. Correlates of ever having smoked were race, sex, having a best friend or family member who smoked, and attitudes that smoking is disgusting and that nonsmokers get better grades. CONCLUSIONS: Prevention programs should begin early and focus on family and peer influences as well as attitudes. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
