To test the hypothesis that cigarette smokers use smoking to control arousal level 160 habitual light and heavy cigarette smokers of both sexes smoked a standard cigarette and simulated smoking under conditions eliciting either low or high arousal. Under high arousal heavy smokers exhibited a significant reduction in rate of smoking but not in simulating smoking. From other evidence it was argued that, although this group may use smoking as a means of arousal control, it appears that smokers in general smoke at a faster rate when there is little else to do
