1983年，对5580名16岁及以上的男女进行了一项全国性的澳大利亚家庭调查，以确定吸烟行为和相关的信念和意图。在男性中，37%经常吸烟（比1980年报告的40%有显著下降），在女性中，30%吸烟（1980年为31%）。在16-24岁年龄组中，吸烟的女性多于男性，有证据表明，女性吸烟人数在50岁左右净增加。男性吸烟者比女性吸烟者有更强烈的戒烟意愿。戒烟者列出的主要好处是与健康有关，主要缺点是体重增加和易怒。目前的吸烟者也列出了戒烟的好处，但他们更有可能列出体重增加和易怒作为缺点。只有8%的吸烟者将自己的医生列为赞成他们戒烟的人。更多的非吸烟者比吸烟者列出了吸烟引起的疾病，25%的吸烟者（而从不吸烟者的比例为9%）认为吸烟根本不会引起任何疾病。在吸烟者中，一个非常显着的积极关系之间的信念，一个自己的吸烟可能会导致致命的疾病和打算放弃。
A nationwide Australian household survey of 5580 men and women, 16 years and over, was conducted in 1983 to determine smoking behaviour and related beliefs and intentions. Among males, 37 per cent were regular cigarette smokers (a significant drop from 40 per cent reported in 1980), and among females, 30 per cent were smokers (compared with 31 per cent in 1980). In the age group 16–24 more females than males smoke cigarettes and there was evidence of a net increase in smoking among females at about the age of 50. Male smokers had stronger intentions to give up than female smokers. The main advantages of giving up listed by ex-smokers were health-related and the main disadvantages were weight gain and irritability. Current smokers also listed advantages in giving up but they were more likely to list weight gain and irritability as disadvantages. Only 8 per cent of smokers listed their own doctor among the people who would be in favour of them giving up. More non-smokers than smokers listed diseases caused by smoking and 25 per cent of smokers (versus 9 per cent of never smokers) believed no illnesses at all are caused by smoking. Among smokers, a highly significant positive relationship was found between the belief that one's own smoking could cause a fatal illness and the intention to give up.
