The levels of smoking of 1st and 2nd year students at Faculty of Medicine and Manisa School of Health at Celal Bayar University were investigated in 2006-2007. This study is carried out in order to see if there is a change in the same students' level of smoking while they are in 3rd and 4th year. In addition, the study aimed to examine the factors affecting the level of use and attitudes towards the law effectuated in July 19, 2009. This is a follow-up study with 80.42% return rate. A 26-item structured questionnaire was administered. The participants filled out the questionnaires under supervision of the researchers in their classrooms. The University Institutional Review Board approved the study. The total of participants (263) of the follow-up study included 189 female and 74 male. The rate of experimenting with smoking was 49% with the mean age of 15.7 (SD= 4.01 years). The mean age of experimenting with smoking was the earliest on male students studying at faculty of medicine. The level of smoking was found to be the most on females, studying at faculty of medicine and staying at the dormitory, with smoking parents (p< 0.05). The most important reason to begin smoking was curiosity (55.2%) while bad breath and yellowing of teeth were the reasons to quit (91.7%). 83.3% of the students thought that the law will be effective on quit smoking. The level of both experimenting and use of smoking has been increased over time. It is suggested that medical students' awareness about the danger of smoking should be raised at earlier grades. In addition, lectures should be offered to students at School of Health and they should be encouraged to unite in order to fight with smoking.
2006 - 2007年，对切拉尔·拜亚尔大学医学院和马尼萨卫生学院一、二年级学生的吸烟水平进行了调查。开展这项研究是为了观察这些学生在三、四年级时吸烟水平是否有变化。此外，该研究旨在考察影响吸烟水平的因素以及对2009年7月19日实施的法律的态度。这是一项随访研究，回访率为80.42%。采用了一份包含26个条目的结构化问卷。参与者在教室中，在研究人员的监督下填写问卷。该研究获得了大学机构审查委员会的批准。随访研究的参与者共有263人，其中189名女性，74名男性。尝试吸烟的比例为49%，平均年龄为15.7岁（标准差 = 4.01岁）。医学院男学生尝试吸烟的平均年龄最早。发现医学院女性、住在宿舍且父母吸烟的学生吸烟水平最高（p < 0.05）。开始吸烟的最重要原因是好奇（55.2%），而口臭和牙齿变黄是戒烟的原因（91.7%）。83.3%的学生认为该法律对戒烟会有效。随着时间推移，尝试吸烟和吸烟的水平都有所上升。建议在更早年级提高医学生对吸烟危害的认识。此外，应向卫生学院的学生提供讲座，并鼓励他们团结起来与吸烟作斗争。
