Smoking has resulted in numerous deaths in China. Data indicate that 21% of college students in China are smokers.
This study aimed to examine the smoking-related behaviors of undergraduates, as influenced by knowledge, attitude, social pressure, and environmental constraints.
A convenience sampling of 412 fresh undergraduates from two universities in the University Town in Chongqing, China was recruited. Chi-square tests were used to compare the smoking-related variables between smokers and non-smokers. Moreover, logistic regression was used to examine the factors that associated with smoking status in undergraduates.
Smokers and non-smokers differ in terms of knowledge, attitudes toward smoking, participation in tobacco promotional activities, and sources of social pressure. Logistic regression model identified that sex, living cost, five smoking-related attitudes of "Smoking is pleasurable, Smoking relaxes me, Smoking makes me look strong, Smoking is a waste of money, Smoking can help me study better", the social pressure "Smoking brings comfort during celebration", and the environmental constraints "How did you get your cigarettes in the past 30 days?" are significantly associated with smoking.
The findings provide a better understanding of the epidemic of smoking among fresh undergraduates in Chongqing, China. This study provides more detailed consideration of the implications for the WHO Framework Convention on Tobacco Control (FCTC) policies, especially on restriction of retail sales outlets and tobacco promotion activities near universities in China.
吸烟在中国已导致众多死亡案例。数据表明，中国21%的大学生吸烟。
本研究旨在探讨知识、态度、社会压力和环境限制对本科生吸烟相关行为的影响。
对来自中国重庆大学城两所大学的412名本科新生进行便利抽样。采用卡方检验比较吸烟者和非吸烟者之间与吸烟相关的变量。此外，使用逻辑回归分析本科生吸烟状况的相关因素。
吸烟者和非吸烟者在知识、对吸烟的态度、参与烟草促销活动以及社会压力来源方面存在差异。逻辑回归模型确定，性别、生活费用、“吸烟令人愉悦、吸烟能让我放松、吸烟让我看起来强壮、吸烟是浪费金钱、吸烟能帮助我更好地学习”这五种与吸烟相关的态度、社会压力“在庆祝活动中吸烟能带来慰藉”以及环境限制“在过去30天里你是如何获得香烟的？”与吸烟显著相关。
这些发现有助于更好地了解中国重庆本科新生中的吸烟流行情况。本研究为《世界卫生组织烟草控制框架公约》（FCTC）政策的影响提供了更详细的思考，特别是对中国大学附近零售网点限制和烟草促销活动的影响。
