Description
Bianca Mihăilă and co-authors study smoking through personal networks in a rural Romanian village, in work from 2024. Most smoking research targets teens in cities. Habits of middle-aged and older adults in the countryside have drawn far less study.
Face-to-face interviews covered 76 adults, logging smoking status, social ties, and background facts. Models predicted who smokes, quit, or never smoked from those traits. Smokers tended to have smoking kin, which keeps the habit in the family. Non-smokers sat inside mostly non-smoking circles. Women smoked less than men, and older adults were more likely to have quit. The authors argue quit programs should treat the family, not just the smoker.
