Three times as likely, actually.

If parents are smoking while their child is very young, the child is more likely to be influenced by his parents because they are the main people in his/her life, especially if they are not taught that it is wrong, and it has a very high chance of killing you.

My parents used to smoke, but had no choice but to go cold turkey after my dad had a mini-stroke because of his high blood-pressure and smoking.

But, being as stubborn and addicted as they are, I still catch them having a few cigarettes outside on the patio with their master bedroom door locked so they can keep me from seeing them. But they forget to draw the curtains sometimes.

Very high. Children are far more likely to do what they see their parents doing than to begin smoking on their own. There is some belief that previous exposure to the smoke will potentiate nicotine addiction, as well. If you love your kids don't smoke.
