This study investigated the relationship of cigarette smoking to selected performance and personality factors among 151 university students. Smokers and nonsmokers were compared by means of individual t tests with regard to grade point average, verbal and quantitative SAT scores, and the 11; scales of the Omnibus Personality Inventory (OPI). The results revealed a statistically significant difference between the two groups on 8 of the 114 OPI scales: Theoretical Orientation, Complexity, Autonomy, Religious Orientation, Impulse Expression, Personal Integration, Altruism, and Practical Outlook. No significant differences, however, were found between smokers and nonsmokers on any of the 3 measures of academic performance.
