Cigarette Smoking Among Former Military Service Personnel. A Neglected Social Issue Preventive Medicine 23,2 (March 1994): 235-241.

Keyword(s): Behavior; Cigarette Use (see Smoking); General Social Survey (GSS); Military Personnel; Military Service; Veterans Based on secondary analysis of archival data from the General Social Surveys and the National Longitudinal Surveys of Youth, this article examines smoking among active military personnel, veterans, and comparable civilian populations. Results conformed with past research and indicated higher smoking rates for currently active military personnel than for contemporary civilians. Findings among men and women who were in their thirties during the early 1980s suggest that military personnel and civilians alike exhibited the same tendency toward cigarette use and initiated smoking at approximately the same ages. Military smoking did not appear to be a situational behavior which occurred only during a recruit's tour of duty; results also suggest that previous military experience was associated with higher lifelong patterns of cigarette consumption, compared to those who had never been in the armed services. |
