Abstract
It has been reported that smoking is more prevalent among extraverts t han introverts. Findings of the present study, including 51 prostate c ancer patients, support this but indicates that extraverts may not be more likely to start to smoke. However, introverts are much more likel y to give up smoking than extraverts.
