A twin study of drinking and smoking onset and latencies from first use to regular use.

Behavior genetics - 1 Nov 1999

Stallings M C, Hewitt J K, Beresford T, Heath A C, Eaves L J

Abstract excerpt

The early onset of alcohol and tobacco use has been associated with increased risk for later substance abuse and dependence problems. This study investigated genetic and environmental influences on age at onset of alcohol and tobacco use by examining twin resemblance for several retrospectively reported onset milestones including age at first use, age at first alcohol intoxication experience, and age at regular...
