OBJECTIVES: This prospective study examined the effect of tobacco marketing
on progression to established smoking. METHODS: Massachusetts adolescents
(n = 529) who at baseline had smoked no more than 1 cigarette were
reinterviewed by telephone in 1997. Analyses examined the effect of
receptivity to tobacco marketing at baseline on progression to established
smoking, controlling for significant covariates. RESULTS: Adolescents who,
at baseline, owned a tobacco promotional item and named a brand whose
advertisements attracted their attention were more than twice as likely to
become established smokers (odds ratio = 2.70) than adolescents who did
neither. CONCLUSIONS: Participation in tobacco marketing often precedes,
and is likely to facilitate, progression to established smoking. Hence,
restrictions on tobacco marketing and promotion could reduce addiction to
tobacco.
