Abstract
Academic biologists, chemists, mathematicians, and psychologists were surveyed to examine smoking rates among the various groups of scientists and to compare publication differences associated with smoking status. Smoking rates among these groups of scientists were, in general, quite low. A consistent tendency for greater publishing activity on the part of smokers than non-smokers or former smokers was observed.This publication has 24 references indexed in Scilit:
