 * Theorist ** : Bauman et al
 * Study ** **of**: The relationship between parents smoking behaviour on their child’s tobacco use
 * Year ** : 1990

Parental smoking played a huge role in the likelihood of a person trying to smoke and thus developing an addiction. The sample was of American adolescents. From the sample whose parents didn't smoke, 80% reported that they had also never tried. While half of the adolescents from the sample who did smoke had tried cigarettes.
 * Summary: **

To study the relationship between smoking behaviour in a parent and their child’s exposure to cigarettes.
 * Aim: **

They studied children from 12-14 in the United States.
 * Procedures: **

From the sample whose parents didn't smoke, 80% reported that they had also never tried. While half of the adolescents from the sample who did smoke had tried. This has been confirmed by other studies in the UK. It also can be seen that parents who are strongly against smoking have children that are seven times less likely to smoke.
 * Findings: **

Thus parents have a great influence over whether their children take up smoking.
 * Conclusions: **

This doesn’t take into account peer pressure that also has a large influence.
 * Criticisms: **
