| Popis: | Introduction Maternal smoking is a risk factor for offspring smoking. Lifetime maternal smoking vs. prenatal tobacco exposure (PTE) appears to act through different mechanisms. This study tested the hypothesis that maternal smoking measures’ effects on offspring smoking could be attributable to hereditary mechanisms: personality traits (novelty-seeking, impulsivity, neuroticism, and self-esteem) and initial subjective smoking experiences (pleasurable, unpleasurable, and dizziness). Methods Data were drawn from the Social and Emotional Contexts of Adolescent Smoking Patterns study, an 8-year longitudinal study of 9th or 10th graders at baseline (≈age 15) who experiment with smoking ( Results Impulsiveness was associated with intermediate adolescent smoking frequency (B = 0.135, SD = 0.043, p = .002) and nicotine dependence (B = 0.012, SD = 0.003, p < .001). Unpleasurable first experience (B = 0.886, SD = 0.374, p = .018) and dizziness (B = 0.629, SD = 0.293, p = .032) showed a trend with intermediate smoking frequency that was nonsignificant after correcting for multiple comparisons. These traits did not confound maternal smoking’s effects. Conclusions None of the heritable traits examined in this model explained the effect of maternal smoking measures on adolescence or young adulthood offspring smoking. Further research is needed to elucidate the mechanism by which PTE and maternal smoking are linked to offspring smoking. Implications Prenatal tobacco exposure (PTE) and mother’s lifetime smoking present separate and independent risks for offspring smoking; however, their mechanisms seem unrelated to heritable personality traits and initial subjective smoking experiences. These findings have implications for separate screening strategies tailored to different age groups, especially related to PTE’s risk of smoking in young adulthood. Additionally, these findings add to the known risks of maternal smoking. Further research is needed to understand the mechanism underlying the risk posed by maternal lifetime smoking and PTE on offspring smoking behavior. |
