Resumo

Despite the wide body of research conducted on adolescent smoking, most studies have been cross-sectional, which precludes a proper identification of prospective predictors over time. Long-term longitudinal studies aimed to analyze whether distal predictors of smoking behaviors may be identified at early life stages are particularly scarce. This study was completed by collecting data from a wider longitudinal study on child development, analyses predictors of smoking at late adolescence by considering a number of family, peer, school, personality and behavioural/emotional factors measured at early adolescence. It also analyses if a number of temperamental and behavioral variables measured in childhood may be distal predictors of adolescent smoking. Self-reported and parent-reported data was collected from 192 children in 2002; 115 of them could be followed-up in 2009 and 2013. Results indicate that at early adolescence family atmosphere (closeness, support), involvement with antisocial peers, school failure, sensation seeking and externalizing problems predict changes in smoking through the following years. In childhood, externalizing problems, impulsivity/self-control, sensation seeking and limited emotional processing emerge as long-term predictors of adolescent smoking. Children with significant parent-reported externalizing problems show more unfavourable development in smoking patterns during adolescents. These results support theoretical models which underline early externalizing problems, and factors associated to them, as risk indicators for dysfunctional development through time. Results also suggest that the targeted intervention on early-onset externalizing problems might be a useful way to prevent later smoking, among other negative outcomes
