Abstract
According to this study: People who smoke during childhood and adolescence are more likely to smoke daily as adults and less likely to stop smoking in their 40s. Efforts should be made to prevent smoking exposure early in life, because it can lead to lifelong smoking patterns that are difficult to break.Keywords
