Reports a large-scale survey (N=1985) of 9- to 12-year-olds' representations of parents' and friends' views about the nature of smoking. Results indicate that young smokers have access to sets of beliefs about others' smoking views that may differ from those available to nonsmokers. Other results are reported. (RJM)
