Social Networks and Smoking Choices among Chinese Undergraduate Students

This dataset is based on original survey data from 224 Chinese undergraduate students who are studying in China and the UK. This dataset is to explore how UK-based and China-based Chinese students’ smoking behaviours are affected by their social networks, particularly their friends and family members, to address an empirical gap by testing the validity of three social network mechanisms: person-to-person contact, social support, and social stress, and to identify how studying abroad influences smoking behaviours by comparing these smoking behaviours for Chinese students in China.
