Abstract
A subset of four questions was selected from a longer questionnaire to survey beliefs about the effects of tobacco smoke pollution on intellectual performance in college classrooms. Sizable majorities of both the 246 nonsmokers and 61 smokers believed that nonsmoking students with smoke-aversive handicaps suffer discriminatory treatment because of smoke pollution. The need for additional survey and experimental studies is presented.Keywords
