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.
