Primary	Smoking prevalence of adolescents in each group	We will compare the smoking prevalence of adolescents in each group at six years against the usual null hypothesis of no difference between groups. We will use the Chi-squared test, taking into account the "variance inflation factor" of the adolescent cluster and intraclass correlation coefficient.	six years
