Share on FacebookFebruary 27, 2009 Study: Kids Who Watch R-Rated Movies More Likely to Smoke
Children whose parents allow them to watch R-rated movies are more likely to smoke later in life, according to new research from the University of Massachusetts.
HealthDay News reported Feb. 23 that researchers followed 1,200 Massachusetts teenagers over four years, asking them questions about watching R-rated movies, their perceptions about the ease of obtaining cigarettes, and if smoking was allowed in their homes.
The study showed that permission to watch R-rated movies is one of the strongest predictors of a child's belief that it is easy to get cigarettes. "We do know that kids who believe it is easy to get a cigarette are at risk of smoking," lead author Chyke Doubeni said. "Our prior research has already shown that kids who perceive cigarettes as readily accessible are more likely to end up as regular smokers."
