Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Social smoking is a phenomenon in the young adult population, one that is poorly understood. This study was a secondary analysis of data from a cross-sectional survey of a random sample of college smokers. The study investigated differences in undergraduate college smoking groups (social smoking versus non-social smoking) with regard to motivation to quit, rate of smoking, and perceived smoking status. This study also investigated the utility of seven predictors in classifying smoking groups. These predictors included depression, social support, self-esteem, neuroticism anxiety, impulsive sensation seeking, physical and psychological dependence. Results revealed that 71% of 353 current (past 30-day) smokers reported social smoking. The study provided the following results to the research questions: (a) no significant difference was found in motivation to quit between smoking groups (social smoking versus non-social smoking; (b) a significant difference was found in the number of days smoked, and the number of cigarettes smoked on those days between smoking groups; (c) there was a significant difference in perceived smoking status (smoker versus not a smoker) between smoking groups, more social smokers than expected did not perceive themselves as smokers; (d) logistic regression analysis revealed that physical dependence, psychological dependence, and social support were significant predictors in correctly classifying individuals into smoking groups (74.3%). The study used cognitive dissonance theory to explain the results. This exploratory study took a step toward developing a further understanding of social smoking in college. This may help college health officials develop targeted interventions for this group.

Book excerpt: While the past 40 years have seen significant declines in adult smoking, this is not the case among young adults, who have the highest prevalence of smoking of all other age groups. At a time when just about everyone knows that smoking is bad for you, why do so many college students smoke? Is it a short lived phase or do they continue throughout the college years? And what happens after college, when they enter the “real world”? Drawing on interviews and focus groups with hundreds of young adults, Lighting Up takes the reader into their everyday lives to explore social smoking. Mimi Nichter argues that we must understand more about the meaning of social and low level smoking to youth, the social contexts that cause them to take up (or not take up) the habit, and the way that smoking plays a large role in students’ social lives. Nichter examines how smoking facilitates social interaction, helps young people express and explore their identity, and serves as a means for communicating emotional states. Most college students who smoked socially were confident that “this was no big deal.” After all, they were “not really smokers” and they would only be smoking for a short time. But, as graduation neared, they expressed ambivalence or reluctance to quit. As many grads today step into an uncertain future, where the prospect of finding a good job in a timely manner is unlikely, their 20s may be a time of great stress and instability. For those who have come to depend on the comfort of cigarettes during college, this array of life stressors may make cutting back or quitting more difficult, despite one’s intentions and understandings of the harms of tobacco. And emerging products on the market, like e-cigarettes, offer an opportunity to move from smoking to vaping. Lighting Up considers how smoking fits into the lives of young adults and how uncertain times may lead to uncertain smoking trajectories that reach into adulthood.

Download or read book Determining the Prevalence of Bitter Tasters in a Sample of College Smokers at the Ohio State University written by Ashley Weber and published by . This book was released on 2010 with total page 28 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract: Determining the Prevalence of Bitter Tasters in a Sample of College Smokers Ashley Weber Advisor: Dr. Karen Ahijevych Social smoking is a growing trend among college students, characterized by occasional smoking, lack of nicotine dependence, and less intention to quit. College students may not self-identify as smokers because of these characteristics. Bitter taste phenotype (BTP), one's ability to test bitter, may help tailor appropriate oral nicotine replacement therapy (NRT). Research questions examined differences in BTP and nicotine dependence among regular and social smokers. A bitter taste test determined ability to taste bitter. Carbon monoxide (CO) breath levels using the Bedfont Mini-Smokerlyzer and salivary cotinine were used as biomarkers of smoking. A final sample of 22 (68.2% male; 91% Caucasian) was used. Questionnaires showed mean age 19.3 "1.4 years, with an average of 1.7 "0.9 years at The Ohio State University. Smoking status results revealed a mean of 2.3 "1.4 smoking years, with average age of 16.1 "1.8 years when initiating smoking. A mean of 3.3 "2.9 cigarettes was smoked per weekday, and 15.5 "9.8 cigarettes per entire weekend. Fourteen (63.6%) subjects considered themselves "social smokers." Prevalence of bitter tasters was 59.1%, with 45.5% being categorized as medium tasters (coded as "1"), 13.6% as supertasters (coded as "2"), and 40.9% as nontasters (coded as "0"). BTP was significantly and inversely correlated with smoking status for measures such as average number of cigarettes on a weekday (Kendall's tau b = -.402), and percentage that you smoke with others (Kendall's tau b = -.434). No significant findings resulted in comparison of Fagerström Test for Nicotine Dependence (FTND) score based on BTP. However, the trend of nontasters having a higher FTND score than bitter tasters was observed. As there is limited research about smoking habits of college students and the best means to help them quit, understanding students' social smoking, oral NRT use, and BTP will aid in determining the most effective cessation products and programs.
