Youth susceptibility to tobacco use in the Gulf Cooperation Council Countries, 2001–2018
2022, Preventive Medicine ReportsCitation Excerpt :In GCC countries, most current tobacco users start using tobacco before age 18 (Wellman et al., 2016; Nasser et al., 2020). Tobacco use behavior passes through several stages: 1) preparation; 2) initiation; 3) experimentation; 4) regular use 5) addiction (Stern et al., 1987). The point of greatest susceptibility is between the stage of preparation and initiation (Pierce et al., 1996).
Susceptibility to cigarette smoking among middle and high school e-cigarette users in Canada
2017, Preventive MedicineSchool bullying and susceptibility to smoking among never-tried cigarette smoking students
2016, Preventive MedicineCitation Excerpt :One possible explanation for the differences in the findings in both studies may be due to the different outcome variables analyzed, with the current study focusing on vulnerability to future smoking. As discussed, the decision to initiate or start smoking is not as easy as a binary choice (yes versus no), it is more likely to involve a process or sequence of stages (Mayhew et al., 2000; Stern et al., 1987). Therefore, identifying the characteristics of those with a higher propensity to initiate smoking is beneficial for prevention targeting and public health.
Worldwide never-smoking youth susceptibility to smoking
2014, Journal of Adolescent HealthA comparison of daily and occasional smokers' implicit affective responses to smoking cues
2012, Addictive BehaviorsCitation Excerpt :Although many individuals begin smoking in adolescence, a sizable proportion of individuals begin smoking or show increases in smoking behavior after age 18 (e.g., Chassin, Presson, Pitts, & Sherman, 2000; Chassin, Presson, Sherman, & Edwards, 1991). Although several studies have found that many college students explicitly report negative attitudes towards smoking regardless of their own smoking behavior (Elders, Perry, Eriksen, & Giovino, 1994; Goddard, 1992; Johnston, O'Malley, & Bachman, 1996; Stern, Prochaska, Velicer, & Elder, 1987), social desirability may diminish the reporting of positive emotions in self-reports of attitudes towards smoking (e.g., Swanson, Rudman, & Greenwald, 2001). Because of the limitations of explicit measures, researchers use implicit measures to examine smokers' affective reactions to smoking by focusing on their responses to smoking-related cues, such as pictures of cigarettes or other smoking-related objects, using a range of paradigms such as the Implicit Association Test (IAT; Greenwald, McGhee, & Schwartz, 1998).
