| Abstract: | Surveys consistently demonstrate that smokers are less likelythan non-smokers to acknowledge the health hazards of cigarettesmoking. Similarly, compared with high education individuals,persons with lower educational attainment are less likely toacknowledge smoking's dangers. We find, however, that as educationlevel rises, smokers' acceptance of the dangers of smoking risessignificantly less than does the acceptance by non-smokers.Thus, relative to non-smokers with the same educational attainment,high-education smokers are less likely to acknowledge the hazardsof smoking than are smokers with lower levels of education. |
