Smoking and Deaf Adults: Associations with Age at Onset of Deafness.
Barnett, Steven; Franks, Peter
American Annals of the Deaf, v144 n1 p44-50 Mar 1999
Using national survey data, this study found that the smoking prevalence among postlingually deafened adults was not significantly different than hearing adults. Prelingually deafened adults were found to be less likely to smoke than hearing adults, even though they had less education and lower incomes, factors usually associated with higher smoking prevalence.
