Abstract

The antismoking movement and the smokers rights movement are examined and their relationship to the environmental movement is explored. It is suggested that the two movements concerned with smoking are not significantly different and both involve a close ideological union with the environmental movement. Data are presented which suggest that smokers and nonsmokers are emerging as distinct social groups and that their attitudes toward environmental controls differ. Further, evidence is presented which indicates that support for strong environmental programs by former smokers may become stronger in the near future.
