Abstract
This study utilized the theory of planned behavior (TPB) to explore non-smoking intention among college students, an important prevention target. Results indicate the relevance of future-oriented attitudes, injunctive subjective norms and perceived behavioral control in predicting intention not to smoke. Differences between non-smokers and occasional smokers were also identified.
