Keeping adolescents from smoking is a focal issue in tobacco control. To this end, adolescent access laws, which make it illegal to sell cigarettes to minors, and increases in cigarette excise taxes represent seemingly simple, effective, and politically popular policy tools (1,2). Whether either of these measures prevents adolescent smoking, however, depends on their ability to influence adolescents in the early phases of smoking uptake and whether these adolescents actually purchase the cigarettes they smoke. This study presents, to our knowledge, the first examination of cigarette sources, analyzed by adolescents' smoking experience.
We analyzed data from the 1996 California Tobacco Survey, which used
random-digit-dialing methodology and telephone interviews. An adult in
each household enumerated all household members, and interviewers
obtained verbal parental permission
