Differences in accuracy of offspring assessment based on parental smoking status
Article Abstract:
The accuracy of offspring assessments of parental smoking status is investigated in 116 parents and 151 adult children who provided data on both their own and their parents' smoking status. It was observed that no significant differences were discovered for dyadic factors and the results supported the utility of proxy reports of parental smoking phenotype by adult informants when self-report was unavailable.

Relationship between early experiences with tobacco and early experiences with alcohol
Article Abstract:
A study is conducted using the benefit of hindsight to determine the relationship between retrospectively reported pleasurable and displeasurable initial responses to nicotine and alcohol in current smokers and never-smokers. The current amount smoked or the degree of nicotine dependence could not be predicted using the pleasurable or displeasurable experiences of alcohol or tobacco.
