Studentship period is a time when most behavioral traits are being created and fixed; this is a special time when students may start smoking. Thus in the present research, prevalence of smoking in university students in Iran has been evaluated.
Having extensively explored Iranian and International databases (SID, Iranmedex, Magiran, Medlib, Irandoc, Pubmed, Google Scholar, and WHO) with broad keywords, we looked for relevant papers about the frequency of cigarette smoking among students in Iranian universities in recent years. We recruited only those primary papers with required information and acceptable methodology by reviewing their titles, abstracts, and full-texts. The main data about the prevalence of smoking, age and sex distribution of subjects, sample size, date, and location of studies were extracted from the full-text of eligible papers.
A total of 22 valid articles were selected. Among the findings of these studies, the lowest and highest prevalence of smoking among male students was 13.4 and 39.9, respectively, while it was 0.7 and 25.5%, respectively, among female students. Meta-analysis results reveals that smoking frequency among male and female students in Iran's universities is 19.8% (17.7-21.9) and 2.2% (1.4-3.02), respectively.
The variation of smoking in students in different universities shows that the tendency of smoking varies in different locations. Furthermore, compatible with the prevalence of smoking in the general population in Iran, female students smoke much less than male students.
学生时期是大多数行为特征形成和固定的时期；这是一个学生可能开始吸烟的特殊时期。因此，在本研究中，对伊朗大学生的吸烟率进行了评估。
我们使用广泛的关键词广泛搜索了伊朗和国际数据库（SID、Iranmedex、Magiran、Medlib、Irandoc、Pubmed、谷歌学术和世界卫生组织），寻找近年来伊朗大学生吸烟频率的相关论文。通过审查论文的标题、摘要和全文，我们只招募那些有所需信息且方法可接受的原始论文。从符合条件的论文全文中提取了关于吸烟率、受试者年龄和性别分布、样本量、日期以及研究地点的主要数据。
共选择了22篇有效文章。在这些研究的结果中，男学生吸烟率的最低值和最高值分别为13.4%和39.9%，而女学生的吸烟率分别为0.7%和25.5%。荟萃分析结果显示，伊朗大学男、女学生的吸烟频率分别为19.8%（17.7 - 21.9）和2.2%（1.4 - 3.02）。
不同大学学生吸烟情况的差异表明，吸烟倾向在不同地区有所不同。此外，与伊朗普通人群的吸烟率相符，女学生吸烟比男学生少得多。
