A small group of nonsmokers is necessary to evaluate normal (non-smoker related) variation in psychophysiological measurement during the 2 hr experimental sessions. It is certainly true, however, that the investigators should' attempt to select non-smokers to be homogenlous as to their reasons for being non-smokers. ' 6.
