This study was designed to determine the health perceptions of smokers and nonsmokers in a blue-collar workplace. Thirty five smokers and 64 non-smokers were recruited in a blue-collar workplace and both groups completed the SF-36 Health Perception Survey. Several demographic questions were added to the survey providing details on smoking status, amount smoked, intention of quitting, education level, gender, and age. The surveys were collected by using a locked and secured drop box in the primary researcher's office. The data were analyzed using both descriptive and inferential statistics. The demographics survey and results from the SF-36 Health Perception Survey provided an opportunity to measure if there was a statistically significant difference in t-test mean scores on physical and mental health perceptions between smokers and non-smokers. The results from the surveys indicated that non-smokers have a statistically significantly higher personal health perception over their smoker counterparts.
