Parental influence on children's smoking. In Fact

In the Health Sponsorship Council’s (HSC’s) 2008 Health and Lifestyles Survey (HLS), respondents were asked a series of questions to assess their perceptions of parental influence on children’s smoking. Smokers were also asked if they worried about influencing children to smoke and whether setting an example for children had led them to think about quitting or try quitting. Those who had quit smoking recently were asked whether setting an example for children had led them to stay quit.
