The present study advanced the hypothesis that individuals who smoke tend to fantasize more than those who have stopped smoking or never smoked. Ninety males and 90 females, with each sex divided into three categories (smokers, stopped smokers, and never smoked) were used. Results of the study supported the hypothesis when applied to male smokers, but not to female smokers. While male smokers tended to fantasize most, the opposite was found for the female smoker, who fantasized least. This was also true in the specific area of achievement.
