目的：本文介绍了一种新的吸烟状态的发展，“幻影吸烟者”，谁不认为自己是吸烟者，但报告吸烟。参与者：来自密歇根州（N = 899; 2005年10月）和佛罗里达州（N = 1，517; 2006年5月）的2所大学的学生参加了调查。研究方法：密歇根州的受访者完成了关于吸烟状况和烟草使用的措施，佛罗里达州的受访者完成了关于吸烟状况、烟草使用、吸烟后果和规范的措施。结果：研究确定了幻烟的发生率（密歇根州为29.6%，佛罗里达为5.5%）。不同的问题导致不同的吸烟率。与非吸烟者相比，幻影吸烟者期望从吸烟中获得更多的负面影响减少和社会促进。幽灵吸烟者对典型吸烟者的形象表现出矛盾的态度。他们比吸烟者承受的改变吸烟行为的压力更小。结论：应认识到幻影吸烟者与吸烟者的分离，并将其作为反吸烟信息的一个独特群体。
Objective: This article presents the development of a new smoking status, the "phantom smokers," who do not view themselves as smokers but report smoking cigarettes. Participants: Students from 2 universities in Michigan (N = 899; October 2005) and Florida (N = 1,517; May 2006) participated in surveys. Methods: Respondents in Michigan completed measures regarding smoking status and tobacco use, and respondents in Florida completed measures regarding smoking status, tobacco use, smoking consequences, and norms. Results: The studies identify the incidence of phantom smokers (29.6% in Michigan and 5.5% in Florida). Different questions resulted in different smoking rates. Phantom smokers expect more negative affect reduction and social facilitation from smoking than nonsmokers. Phantom smokers display ambivalent attitudes toward a typical smoker's image. They experience less pressure to change their smoking behavior than smokers. Conclusion: Phantom smokers' dissociation from smokers should be recognized and targeted as a distinct group for antismoking messages.
