Kids learn drug habits from mum
    #7439239 - 09/22/07 03:32 AM (16 years, 4 months ago)

CHILDREN with smoking mothers are more likely to be regular marijuana users by early adulthood, a new study has found.

Dr Mohammad Reza Hayatbakhsh of the University of Queensland in Brisbane and associates used data from a project that began following a group of pregnant women in Brisbane between 1981 and 1983.

The women had completed questionnaires on their health and lifestyle habits - including smoking and drinking - while they were pregnant, and at several other points as their children grew up.

Part of the link between mother's cigarette smoking and children's marijuana use seems to be explained by the fact that children of smokers were more likely to have been rebellious and aggressive as teenagers, the Australian researchers note.

Past studies have found that children of smokers are more likely than their peers to take up the habit themselves; less is known about whether parents' smoking and drinking habits are related to their children's marijuana use.

However, many people who use the drug first try it as a teenager, the authors note, and family environment is an important influence on teenagers' behaviour.

The researcher then evaluated nearly 3 200 of these women's offspring who were 21 years old, and had been followed since birth. The findings are published in the American Journal of Epidemiology.

Congratulations, a 2 year study to prove something that we already know. Scientists are so silly sometimes.

Sounds a little pseudoscience-esk to me.
"Part of the link between mother's cigarette smoking and children's marijuana use seems to be explained by the fact that children of smokers were more likely to have been rebellious and aggressive as teenagers, the Australian researchers note." - Sounds like a load of crap. Just how much did this useless so called study cost the tax payers of Australia?

Wait....rebellious kids like to break the rules!?! Especially stupid rules? Who knew?!?

Next they will discover that rebellious kids are more likely to have sex and look for mushrooms. (if they are truly rebellious, at the same time)

Don't put down scientific studies! If it weren't for studies, we never would have known that an increase in teenage sex leads to an increase in teenage pregnancy. :tongue:
