Family Predictors of Adolescents’ e-Cigarette and Tobacco Use
Our studies investigated relationships between family factors and adolescents’ tobacco use behaviors. Family conflict and vaping were bidirectionally associated. Adolescents with divorced parents were more likely to vape, and vaped earlier compared to those with married parents. Family cohesion and adaptability were cross-sectionally and longitudinally protective against tobacco use.
