Waterpipe smoking is common among the young in Muslim-majority countries despite recent Islamic rulings on tobacco. US Muslim college students, especially immigrants, may be at high risk for smoking, but information is lacking. In this pilot study, respondent-driven sampling was used to sample 156 Muslim college students. Waterpipe smoking was common (44.3%). Leading motivations to smoke were social and perceived low tobacco harm. Independent risk factors among the Muslim students were perception that friends and other students smoked, and ever drank alcohol. Personal belief that waterpipe smoking is prohibited in Islam was not significant. This pilot suggests that Muslim students are at high risk for waterpipe smoking and more definitive studies are needed.
尽管最近伊斯兰教对烟草有相关规定，但在穆斯林占多数的国家，水烟吸食在年轻人中很常见。美国穆斯林大学生，尤其是移民，可能面临较高的吸烟风险，但相关信息匮乏。在这项试点研究中，采用应答者驱动抽样方法对156名穆斯林大学生进行了抽样。水烟吸食很普遍（44.3%）。吸烟的主要动机是社交以及认为烟草危害较低。穆斯林学生中的独立风险因素包括认为朋友和其他学生吸烟以及曾饮酒。个人认为伊斯兰教禁止水烟吸食这一信念并不显著。这项试点研究表明，穆斯林学生面临较高的水烟吸食风险，需要开展更具确定性的研究。
