We determined the prevalence of smoking among 320 male medical sciences students (174 studying for a medical degree, 95 a bachelor degree and 51 a associate degree) in Semnan, Islamic Republic of Iran. A self-administrated, anonymous questionnaire was used. The prevalence of smoking was 14.4%; 45.6% of the smokers started smoking between the ages of 18 and 20 years, 43.5% starting at university. There was no significant difference in the prevalence between students undertaking different college degrees and also those having different types of accommodation. However the smoking behaviour of friends and family was significantly correlated with smoking in the students. Smoking amongst medical sciences students, who will become the health professionals of the future, needs to be addressed.
我们在伊朗 Semnan 确定了 320 名男性医学生（174 名攻读医学学位，95 名攻读学士学位，51 名副学士学位）中的吸烟流行率。使用了一份自我管理的匿名问卷。吸烟率为 14.4%；45.6%的吸烟者在 18 至 20 岁之间开始吸烟，43.5%在大学开始吸烟。不同学历的学生和不同住宿类型的学生之间的吸烟率没有显著差异。然而，朋友和家人的吸烟行为与学生的吸烟行为显著相关。需要解决医学生的吸烟问题，他们将成为未来的医疗保健专业人员。
