摘要：Use of tobacco is singularly responsible for most cases of cancer and coronary artery disease (CAD). Efforts
to stop tobacco-use need to be guided by social circumstances. It is believed that family milieu may play a
role in tobacco addiction. We studied the prevalence and pattern of tobacco-use in families of 50 consecutive
tobacco-user patients who presented to a tobacco-cessation clinic and compared with age- and gendermatched
controls (non-users of tobacco). The tobacco-use rates were significantly higher in the family of
patients with tobacco-use compared to the control group. We conclude that problems of tobacco-use are
not related to individual phenomenon, and efforts for control of tobacco addiction must be focused on
entire family.
