The World Health Organization (WHO) revealed in 2015 that the percentage of smokers in Jordan is one of the highest in the world, reaching 70.2% among males and consequently ranking first in the Middle Eastern region and second in the world. Cigarettes are the most widely abused substance among school students in Jordan. This poses severe health risks to the public. The WHO emphasizes that one of the most important public health goals related to smoking is to reduce its harmful effects on the individual as well as society and the prevention and treatment of injuries. This article explores the nature of smoking among school students, binge smoking, and the consequences of smoking. Secondary school students undergo developmental transitions, and this comes with debilitating effects such as the risky use of cigarettes, which adversely affects their health and educational achievements. This article comprises data obtained from 1166 participants (ages 14-17 years) from selected schools in Jerash, near Amman, Jordan. For data collection, a youth questionnaire on underage smoking was utilized. The article presents information on the participants' smoking demographic. Analyses of the data can provide insights into the reasons for the smoking habits of the youth, the negative effects of smoking on school students, strategies to reduce smoking consumption, level of consumption of daily smokers, health issues caused by smoking, the prevalence of smoking, the effect of smoker parents on stimulating their children, and common smoking areas. The data will be useful for institutions dealing with prevalent health problems in society (Smoking causes health problems that affect students' learning) as well as benefit future researchers.
世界卫生组织（WHO）在2015年披露，约旦的吸烟者比例位居世界前列，男性吸烟者比例达70.2%，在中东地区排名第一，在世界排名第二。香烟是约旦在校学生中滥用最为广泛的物品。这给公众带来了严重的健康风险。世卫组织强调，与吸烟相关的最重要公共卫生目标之一是减少其对个人、社会的有害影响以及预防和治疗吸烟所致伤害。本文探讨了在校学生吸烟的本质、狂饮吸烟及其后果。中学生正经历发育转型，这伴随着诸如危险地使用香烟等削弱性影响，对他们的健康和学业成绩产生不利影响。本文的数据来自约旦安曼附近杰拉什选定学校的1166名参与者（年龄在14至17岁之间）。在数据收集过程中，使用了一份关于未成年人吸烟的青年调查问卷。本文呈现了参与者吸烟人口统计学的信息。对数据的分析能够洞察青少年吸烟习惯的成因、吸烟对在校学生的负面影响、减少吸烟量的策略、日常吸烟者的吸烟量水平、吸烟引起的健康问题、吸烟率、吸烟父母对其子女吸烟的刺激作用以及常见吸烟场所。这些数据将对处理社会普遍健康问题的机构（吸烟导致影响学生学习的健康问题）有所帮助，也会使未来的研究人员受益。
