Beyond the Statistics of Adolescent Smoking.

Eckert, Penelope

American Journal of Public Health, v73 n4 p439-41 Apr 1983

Smoking among students in a suburban high school appears to be part of a complex, symbolic process that is associated with a system of social differentiation between working class and middle class students. To be effective, anti-smoking programs should consider the social dynamics of smoking. (Author/MJL)
