: To examine the association between tobacco-related risk factors and smoking among third-year dental students in Latin American countries.
: Logistic regression models were used to analyze Global Health Professions Student Survey (GHPSS) data.
: Of 5 605 respondents, 33% smoked and 45% had been exposed to secondhand smoke during the previous month, 34% smoked in school buildings during the past year, and 85% had never received formal training in smoking cessation. Smoking was significantly associated with male sex; Bolivian, Chilean, or Mexican nationality; exposure to secondhand smoke; lacking self-perception of being a "role model" for patients; and not believing that health professionals who smoke are less likely to advise patients to quit smoking.
: All dental schools should encourage tobacco-free policies and offer cessation services. Cessation training must be incorporated into dental curricula to include dental professionals in the battle against the tobacco epidemic.
研究拉丁美洲国家牙科专业三年级学生中与烟草相关的风险因素和吸烟之间的关联。
使用逻辑回归模型分析全球卫生专业学生调查（GHPSS）数据。
在5605名受访者中，33%的人吸烟，45%的人在前一个月接触过二手烟，34%的人在过去一年内在学校建筑内吸烟，85%的人从未接受过戒烟方面的正规培训。吸烟与男性性别、玻利维亚、智利或墨西哥国籍、接触二手烟、缺乏作为患者“榜样”的自我认知以及不相信吸烟的卫生专业人员不太可能建议患者戒烟显著相关。
所有牙科学校都应鼓励实施无烟政策并提供戒烟服务。必须将戒烟培训纳入牙科课程，以使牙科专业人员参与到抗击烟草流行的斗争中。
