| Abstract: | This research is supported in part by Arizona Disease Control and Research Commission (ADCRC), Grant #9904 (M. Burgoon, PI). This study assesses how adolescent nonsmokers, at-risk smokers, and smokers differ in perceptions of smoking harms, benefits, and safety. While small differences exist when comparing attitudes and knowledge concerning short- and long-term benefits of smoking, large differences arise when attitudes and knowledge concerning the short-term benefits and the safety of casual smoking are compared. |
