| Description | It is generally accepted that living in families where there are smokers, children are stressed not only by the harmful physical exposure to second and third hand tobacco smoke, but also by negative models of the relatives who smoke. It can inspire children to early experiments with smoking. School-based programme Non-smoking is Normal significantly increased the amount of knowledge about risk factors of smoking, the negative attitudes of children from non-smoking families. Children s actual intentions about their smoking in the future was fully influenced by their smoking household environment. Trends of smoking children were steeper in groups from smoking families. The study has confirmed that smoking in families decreased the efficacy of anti-smoking intervention targeted on young children at school age. |
