This study investigates risk/protective factors related to cigarette use among children. The data for this study were derived from the ongoing National Longitudinal Survey of Youth. The offspring of these women are interviewed every two years since 1986. This study analyzes the data for 2,079 children aged 10 and older and their mothers. Using logistic regression we found for both males and females being Non-black, Non-Hispanic, reporting behavioral problems and older age were risk factor for using cigarettes. Among males: mother with a high school diploma was a protective factor and mother's lifetime history of cocaine use was a risk factor. Among females, protective factors included greater religiosity and close maternal relationship. Mother's lifetime marijuana use and ever using foodstamps were risk factors for females. Increasing number of behavioral problems was a risk factor for Blacks, Hispanics, and Caucasian children and adolescents. Having a close relationship with the mother was protective only for Hispanic children and religiosity was protective only for Caucasian children. Having a history of receiving AFDC and maternal cigarette use were both risk factors for Caucasian children only. Implications for future research and practice are discussed.
