Impact Assessment of Repeated Exposure of Organotypic 3D Bronchial and Nasal Tissue Culture Models to Whole Cigarette Smoke
Published on: February 12, 2015
Objective:
To determine the impact of parental smoking on adolescent smoking.
Methods:
Data were retrieved from the China Health and Nutrition Surveys. Both Logistic regression and Tobit regression analyses were performed to estimate the intergenerational effects.
Results:
The prevalence of adolescent smoking was 2.35%. The Logistic regression results showed that parental smoking was a risk factor for adolescent smoking. Estimations from Tobit regression showed that father smoking was also correlated with the numbers of cigarettes adolescent smoked.
Conclusion:
An intergenerational effect was observed between parental smoking and adolescent smoking. In order to reduce adolescent smoking, parental smoking control should be targeted.
