Zinser, Otto; And Others
Journal of Alcohol and Drug Education, v39 n3 p13-26 Spr 1994
College students (n=177) ranked influence they thought various factors had on their smoking behavior. Subjects ranked peers first and cigarette advertisements last as causes of starting to smoke; my decision and health education advertisements highest and peers lowest for quitting smoking. Findings suggest students perceived they had high degree of internal control over smoking behavior. (Author/NB)
