A Comparison of Smoking Related Attitudes and Behaviors among Kentucky Public School Children Whose Families Are and Are Not Involved in Tobacco Production.

Higgins, C. Wayne; And Others

Journal of School Health, v54 n5 p185-87 May 1984

Those children whose families were involved in tobacco production held more favorable attitudes towards smoking than their nontobacco family peers. Development of effective smoking education programs in major tobacco states is suggested. (Author/ DF)
