Parents who quit smoking may influence their offspring to quit as young adults

mized controlled trial would be able to conclusively determine whether the association between parental and young-adult smoking cessation is a true cause-and-effect relationship.

In the meantime, the results of the current analysis suggest that it may be beneficial to include parents in primary smoking-prevention programs for children. "Prevention programs need to reach the parents as well as the children," Bricker said. "We need parents to realize that if they quit smoking, they may be helping their young-adult children to quit smoking in the future."

Parents who would like to quit are encouraged to contact their primary physician for smoking-cessation guidance, Bricker said. Resources for free smoking-cessation assistance include:

  • The National Cancer Institute's Smoke Quitline at (877) 44U-QUIT or www.smokefree.gov.
  • The Washington State Health Department Tobacco Quitline at (877) 270-STOP or www.quitline.com.

    "The first step to quit smoking is becoming personally motivated to quit," Bricker said. "This study could help tip the motivational balance for parents or prospective parents who want to take the next step and do something about their smoking behavior, both for their own health and for that of their child."
