 Introduction
The impact of smoking not only immediately affects a young person’s health, but
their future too. Youth smokers are more likely to develop severe levels of nicotine
addiction compared to adults, which leads to continued tobacco use as they grow
older. Nicotine narrows blood vessels, increases blood pressure and puts added
strain on the heart. This means shortness of breath, asthma and respiratory
illnesses… not to mention cancer and other chronic diseases. Aside from health
effects, there are also many adverse social effects of smoking. It can make hair and
clothes stink, stain teeth and cause bad breath. And smokeless tobacco can lead to
cracked lips, sores and bleeding in the mouth.
Smoking has socio-economic and psychological impact on human personality.
Smoking is a bad social habit not a criminal activity, although the anti-smoking
law exists, its strict enforcement can never work until you change the public’s
attitude. We must change this social attitude through awareness campaigns, and not
by imposing penalties. Gradually, has people become aware of the hazards of
smoking, they will give it up voluntarily (Integrated Regional Information
Networks, 2004). Smoking is already ban in Schools, Colleges, Universities, public
Offices, Public Places and Public Transport and in Domestic Flights for more than
one decade. To strengthen the anti-smoking movement, Pakistan International
Airlines, the National Flag Carrier, has now banned smoking in its all International
Flights as well.
Smoking is the worldwide Psychological and social problem. Smoking affects the
personality as well as social status. It leads to frustration and sometimes to
complete depression. Smoking leads to serious health problems which damage
society and country at large. Though this is major addiction in the society but
which is preventable. It needs to study and to propagate in the society, by which

7
awareness can be created in the society and this life-threatening addiction can be
controlled. Keeping this fact in the mind this research work is carried out.
There are different factors behind smoking. People smoke because of
boredom, because of depression, for just fun, for social company, to just impress
the ladies and even to see how smoke comes out from the mouth. There are lots of
psychological factors behind smoking but major negative result of the smoking is
that affects people’s personality in negative ways and this is the main object behind
this study.

Research Methodology

 Research Methodology
Types of research methodology
There are two types of research which can be done to develop a thesis or
dissertation:
Practical Research: The practical approach consists of the empirical study of
the topic under research and chiefly consists of hands on approach. This involves
first hand research in the form of questionnaires, surveys, interviews, observations
and discussion groups.
Theoretical Research: A non-empirical approach to research, this usually
involves perusal of mostly published works like researching through archives of
public libraries, court rooms and published academic journals.

Types of Research
Qualitative
This type of research methods involve describing in details specific situation using
research tools like interviews, surveys, and Observations. Qualitative Research is
primarily exploratory research. It is used to gain an understanding of underlying
reasons, opinions, and motivations. It provides insights into the problem or helps to
develop ideas or hypotheses for potential quantitative research.
Quantitative
This type of research methods requires quantifiable data involving numerical and
statistical explanations. Quantitative Research is used to quantify the problem by
way of generating numerical data or data that can be transformed into useable
statistics. It is used to quantify attitudes, opinions, behaviors, and other defined
variables – and generalize results from a larger sample population.
Descriptive research
Is used to describe characteristics of a population or phenomenon being studied. It
does not answer questions about how/when/why the characteristics occurred.
Rather it addresses the "what" question (what are the characteristics of the
population or situation being studied?) The characteristics used to describe the
situation or population is usually some kind of categorical scheme also known as
descriptive categories.

12
Basic Research
The research which is done for knowledge enhancement, the research which does
not have immediate commercial potential. The research which is done for human
welfare, animal welfare and plant kingdom welfare. It is called basic, pure,
fundamental research. The main motivation is to expand man's knowledge, not to
create or invent something.

Sampling
In statistics, quality assurance, and survey methodology, sampling is concerned
with the selection of a subset of individuals from within a statistical population to
estimate characteristics of the whole population.
The sampling process comprises several stages:

 Defining the population of concern

 Specifying a sampling frame, a set of items or events possible to measure
 Specifying a sampling method for selecting items or events from the frame
 Determining the sample size
 Implementing the sampling plan
 Sampling and data collecting
 Data which can be selected

Sampling methods
Simple random sampling:
In a simple random sample (SRS) of a given size, all such subsets of the frame are
given an equal probability. Furthermore, any given pair of elements has the same
chance of selection as any other such pair. This minimizes bias and simplifies
analysis of results. 
Systematic sampling:
Systematic sampling (also known as interval sampling) relies on arranging the
study population according to some ordering scheme and then selecting elements at
regular intervals through that ordered list.

13
Stratified sampling:
Where the population embraces a number of distinct categories, the frame can be
organized by these categories into separate "strata." Each stratum is then sampled
as an independent sub-population, out of which individual elements can be
randomly selected.

Sampling Size

Larger sample sizes generally lead to

increased precision when estimating unknown parameters. For example, if we wish
to know the proportion of a certain species of fish that is infected with a pathogen,
we would generally have a more precise estimate of this proportion if we sampled
and examined 200 rather than 100 fish. Several fundamental facts of mathematical
statistics describe this phenomenon, including the law of large numbers and
the central limit theorem.
Sampling Unit
A unit in a statistical analysis refers to one member of a set of entities being
studied. It is the material source for the mathematical abstraction of a "random
variable". Common examples of a unit would be a single person, animal, plant, or
manufactured item that belongs to a larger collection of such entities being studied.

 Research Methodology
 DATA COLLECTION:
There are two types (sources) for the collection of data:
 Primary Data
 Secondary Data

DATA COLLECTION TECHNIQUE: -

 Primary Data: -
Primary Data for the fieldwork was collected by preparing a
questionnaire containing questions relating effect of smoking on personality.

(Smokers and Non-smokers) were taken from Jalgaon. While selecting the sample
60 peoples (Smokers) with age range between 18 to 60 and everyday consume
more than 2 cigarettes since of 5 year (called as cigarette smokers) While another
