Abstract
Children progress through five stages to become smokers: anticipation, initiation, experimentation, habituation, and adult smoking. Children at risk of smoking can be identified. Physicians should ask for information that predicts smoking behaviour, advise not starting, assist staying a nonsmoker, arrange follow-up visits and booster sessions, and anticipate challenges to antismoking behaviours.This publication has 30 references indexed in Scilit:
