Abstract
The age at which a person begins to smoke cigarettes has been found to be related to the total number of years of subsequent smoking1 2 3 4; however, the possible association of this factor with other smoking-related variables has not been examined. We studied the relation between the age at which a person starts smoking and the number of cigarettes smoked per day in adulthood.Keywords
