Abstract: This study examined the personality characteristics, self-esteem, self-efficacy, coping\ntypes of groups of non-smokers, ex-smokers, and current smokers. The sample\nconsisted of college students. No significant differences were observed between the\nthree groups on self-esteem, self-efficacy, and coping types. No age effect was\nobserved either. Significant differences were observed between smokers, and nonsmokers\non extraversion, F (2, 122) = 5.1, p < .01. The hierarchical multiple\nregression model has found extraversion (b = .34, p < .001), neuroticism (b = .2, p <\n.05), conscientiousness (b = -.18, p < .05), and age (b = .34, p < .001) predictive of\nnumber of smoking cigarettes a day.
