Page, Randy M.; And Others
Journal of Health Education, v24 n6 p339-46 Nov-Dec 1993
Reports on a study of 1,915 male and female adolescents that assessed weight-related practices and concerns of smokers and nonsmokers. Smokers were less satisfied with their weight and more likely to perceive themselves as overweight than nonsmoking peers (even though the groups did not differ in body mass index). (SM)
