The aim of this study was to investigate attitudes and awareness about conventional and electronic cigarettes in a sample of students attending the Faculty of Medicine of Pavia University (Italy). An anonymous and self-reported questionnaire was administered to 226 students attending either the first or third years of medical school during the 2013 to 2014 school year. Participation was voluntary and required signing an informed consent form. The prevalence of smokers was 12%. Sixty-seven percent of smokers reported smoking less than 5 cigarettes/day, and 15% more than 10 cigarettes/day. Most smokers (63%) prefer packaged cigarettes and 33% handmade cigarettes; 86% began to smoke between the ages of 15 and 20 years and 45% were influenced by friends. Almost all the students are aware of electronic cigarettes but only one reported regularly using them. Prevalence of smokers and average number of cigarettes smoked per day were both found to be lower than that of the Italian population. Preference of packaged versus handmade cigarettes is the same as national data. E-cigarette use is lower than that reported in the Italian population. This study highlights the need for health education interventions aimed at medical students and family physicians.
本研究旨在调查意大利帕维亚大学医学院学生样本对传统香烟和电子烟的态度及认知情况。在2013至2014学年，对226名医学院一年级或三年级学生进行了一项匿名的自填式问卷调查。参与是自愿的，且需要签署知情同意书。吸烟者的患病率为12%。67%的吸烟者报告每天吸烟少于5支，15%的吸烟者每天吸烟超过10支。大多数吸烟者（63%）更喜欢包装烟，33%更喜欢手工卷烟；86%的人在15至20岁之间开始吸烟，45%的人受朋友影响。几乎所有学生都知道电子烟，但只有一人报告经常使用。吸烟者的患病率和每天吸烟的平均数量均低于意大利人口。包装烟与手工卷烟的偏好与全国数据相同。电子烟的使用率低于意大利人口报告的使用率。本研究强调了针对医学生和家庭医生开展健康教育干预的必要性。
