Smokefree home rules and susceptibility to cigarette and e-cigarette use in adolescents: the mediating role of attitudes
SFH rules, especially strict rules without violations, were associated with lower susceptibility to cigarette or EC use, and this association was partly mediated through less tolerant attitudes toward tobacco use. Further research on policies and interventions on SFH rules and practice is warranted for effective tobacco prevention.
