  1. All values are odds ratios (95% confidence interval) resulted from multiple multinomial regression analyses. Models include only variables significantly predicting nondaily smoking, adjusted for age and gender and mutually for all included variables. Excluded variables at T2: parental education, high school dropout, parental smoking, smoking friends and parental control. Excluded variables at T3: parental education, school grades, parental smoking, parental drunkenness, and parental control.
