Reports on study findings regarding smokers' perceptions of smoking and its annoyance to non-smokers and feelings about smoking as an "image." Notes that most smokers who participated in the study perceived "clear social and imagery negatives associated with smoking" and perceived themselves as being "weak-willing and having a 'negative habit.'" Notes that for males perceptions differed according to age: older males who had been exposed to cigarette advertising on television before the ban agreed with most of the "older, favorable images of smoking," whereas younger adult male smokers (18-24) tended to not have many positive images of smoking. Mentions that smoker imagery did not seem to be as important to women; in fact, women smoked less for external reasons (sophistication, etc) and more for "internal 'mood alteration.'" Suggests further research.
