The current research aimed to understand differences in smoking-related identity among college students and to illustrate the distinct characteristics of nonidentified smokers (NIS).
Students from 2 colleges in Massachusetts (N = 538; April 2016).
Respondents reported by online survey whether or not they had smoked a cigarette in the past 30 days and if they self-identified as smokers. Nonsmokers (NIS) and identified smokers (IS) were then compared on their smoking attitudes and behavior.
NIS made up 12.5% of the sample and 64% of all tobacco users. NIS perceived themselves as less addicted and were more confident in their ability to quit smoking. They also were less likely to smoke alone, buy their own cigarettes, or have friends who smoked.
College health officials can best motivate NIS to quit smoking by focusing on peer norms and the potential of long-term addiction.
当前研究旨在了解大学生中与吸烟相关身份的差异，并阐明未被识别的吸烟者（NIS）的独特特征。
来自马萨诸塞州2所大学的学生（N = 538；2016年4月）。
通过在线调查，受访者报告他们在过去30天内是否吸过烟以及是否自我认定为吸烟者。然后比较非吸烟者（NIS）和已识别吸烟者（IS）的吸烟态度和行为。
NIS占样本的12.5%，占所有烟草使用者的64%。NIS认为自己上瘾程度较低，对戒烟能力更有信心。他们也不太可能独自吸烟、自己购买香烟或有吸烟的朋友。
大学卫生官员可以通过关注同伴规范和长期成瘾的可能性，最有效地激励NIS戒烟。
