Smoking Awareness and Practices of Urban Pre-School and First Grade Children.

Shute, Robert E.; And Others

Journal of School Health, v51 n5 p347-351 May 1981

A study was done to determine and describe the level of preschoolers' and first-graders' awareness, attitudes, and practices regarding cigarettes, pipes, and cigars. Data strongly reflected the fact that parents and older siblings are very influential in the eventual choices of young children to smoke or not to smoke. (JN)
