Abstract: This article explores the influence of social background and social situation on the smoking career. This study is based on a sample of 4.473 individuals who answered the 2006 French Health, Health Care and Insurance Survey. The results of a non-parametric analysis and of a stratified Cox model show an increase of the risk of initiation and a decrease of the risk of cessation with parental smoking. They also emphasis a reversion of the social gradient between initiation and cessation. Individuals with high social background and high socioeconomic status have both a higher risk of initiation and a higher risk of cessation. Finally, being son of farmers is protective for both initiation and cessation.
