It has been suggested that high genetic vulnerability may explain why smoking persists in spite of general acceptance of the health risks of cigarette smoking. Indeed, heritability estimates for smoking persistence range from 27% to 70%. It has also been suggested that genetic influences on smoking persistence may operate through nicotine dependence, which epidemiological studies have found to be an important risk factor for smoking persistence. We examined alternative ways that familial liability to persistence, nicotine dependence and smoking persistence may be related.
