吸烟发作有4个水平，在早期实验之前有一个“易感性”水平。这项研究在一项纵向研究中评估了吸烟易感性的预测有效性，该研究对4,500名基线时从未吸过烟的青少年进行了全国代表性样本研究。在4年后的随访中，40%的样本尝试过吸烟，8%的人已经养成了吸烟的习惯。基线吸烟易感性，定义为没有一个坚定的决定不吸烟，是一个更强的独立预测实验比吸烟者的存在，无论是在家庭或最好的朋友网络。然而，吸烟的易感性并不重要，暴露于吸烟者在区分青少年谁的进展，以建立吸烟从那些谁仍然在后续实验者。
Smoking onset has 4 levels, with a ''susceptibility'' level preceding early experimentation. This study assessed the predictive validity of smoking susceptibility in a longitudinal study of a nationally representative sample of 4,500 adolescents who at baseline reported never having puffed on a cigarette. At follow-up 4 years later, 40% of the sample had experimented with smoking, and 8% had established a smoking habit. Baseline susceptibility to smoking, defined as the absence of a firm decision not to smoke, was a stronger independent predictor of experimentation than the presence of smokers among either family or the best friend network. However, susceptibility to smoking was not as important as exposure to smokers in distinguishing adolescents who progressed to established smoking from those who remained experimenters at follow-up.
