Despite widespread interest in adolescent smoking behaviour, little research has been directed to the social dynamics of adolescent smoking. In this paper, smoking intentions and peer group influences among a sample of 1,689 grade 8 students from southern ontario were analyzed to ascertain possible gender - specific correlates in adolescnet smoking intentions. The peer environment was found to be a crucial factor in adolescent smoking behaviour. Particularly striking for adolescent girls was the firmness of their expressed intentions to continue to smoke quite early in their smoking lives.
