Foote, Janet Ann; And Others

Journal of American College Health, v45 n3 p129-32 Nov 1996

First-year college students completed surveys to determine their current tobacco use levels and the advice they had previously received from physicians regarding tobacco products. Results indicated that nearly 20% of the students were currently smoking and that health care providers were not fully using opportunities to educate young adults about tobacco use. (SM)
