This study aimed to determine the prevalence of smoking behaviors among students in Tehran University, Iran.
This was a cross-sectional study on 400 participants of Tehran University. A self-administrated, anonymous questionnaire was used for data gathering.
The mean age of students was 21.70 ± 2.73 years, and 92% of them were single. The prevalence of smoking was 27.3% including 35.4% of men and 12.6% of women (P < 0.001). The mean duration of smoking was 4.22 ± 3.05 years. There was a significant association between smoking behaviors among students and their age, gender, type of accommodation, field of study, income status, duration of study, and existence of smoking habits among family members.
The prevalence of cigarette smoking among university students is high. The lack of adequate information about smoking related diseases indicates the incapability and inefficiency of educational programs on this issue.
本研究旨在确定伊朗德黑兰大学学生的吸烟行为患病率。
这是一项针对400名德黑兰大学参与者的横断面研究。采用自填式匿名问卷收集数据。
学生的平均年龄为21.70±2.73岁，其中92%为单身。吸烟患病率为27.3%，其中男性为35.4%，女性为12.6%（P<0.001）。平均吸烟时长为4.22±3.05年。学生的吸烟行为与其年龄、性别、住宿类型、研究领域、收入状况、学习时长以及家庭成员的吸烟习惯之间存在显著关联。
大学生吸烟率较高。缺乏关于吸烟相关疾病的充分信息表明在这个问题上教育项目的无能和低效。
