The paper I Smoke but I Am Not a Smoker (Journal of American College Health [2010]: 117125)

The paper €œI Smoke but I Am Not a Smoker€ (Journal of American College Health [2010]: 117€“125) describes a survey of 899 college students who were asked about their smoking behavior. Of the students surveyed, 268 classified themselves as nonsmokers, but said yes when asked later in the survey if they smoked. These students were classified as €œphantom smokers,€ meaning that they did not view themselves as smokers even though they do smoke at times. The authors were interested in using these data to determine if there is convincing evidence that more than 25% of college students fall into the phantom smoker category.
