Isi artikelSmoking remains a major problem among young people in europe. However, within the research community examining the issue, debate continues about the ebst way of assessing the exteny of that problem. Questions have been raised about the extent to which existing techniques for generating statistical representations of patterns of youth report smoking data. Using empirical data from the UK liverpook longitudinal smoking study (LLSS), this paper argues that self reprot measures of smoking, treated in isolation from participants' personal accounts, can disguise problems with the reability and validity of a given study. Using longitudinal qualitative and quantitative data in dialogue, two main factors contributing to unreliable data are discussed : a. participants' access to and familiarity with frameworks of everyday cultural knowledge about the practice of smoking b. participants' retrospective revision of events in line with their current goals, aspirations and self understandings. The conclusion drawn is that research has to employ character of the problem of smoking and to avoid the difficulties post by the models of smoking behaviour embodied within stand alone statistical research.
