Clues show that a large number of toxic agents, including carcinogenic, heavy metals, other particles, and high levels of nicotine, are effectively delivered through cigarette and hookah smoking. A pilot study was carried out in Varamin city, Iran in 2016 aimed to determine status of cigarette and hookah smoking in adolescent students using, Global Youth Tobacco Survey (GYTS) questionnaire.
It was a cross-sectional study. At the first, of 63 Varamin city schools' using cluster sampling, 48 schools were considered as primary clusters and 4 schools were selected randomly as sample clusters and students with 7, 8 and 9 years of education were studied. The total number of registered students was 1,108 and 1,075 responded to the study questionnaire. The main tool for collecting information used in this study was the GYTS questionnaire developed by the World Health Organization, was completed by subjects.
Totally, 479 (44.6%) students were boys and 596 (55.4%) were girls. Of 1,075 subjects the number of students at 7, 8 and 9 years education was 369 (34.3%), 362 (33.7%) and 344 (32.0%) respectively. The cigarette and hookah smoking using experience among the population was 9.2% and 25.5 respectively. Regarding the averages of the total score, although students have a relatively good attitude and specially behavioral intention (72% and 88% of the total score respectively), but only 47% of the total knowledge score by boys and 51% by girls, shows the average level of students' awareness related the undesirable effects of smoking.
Considering that one out of four students experienced cigarette and hookah smoking. Nearly half of the students are exposed to cigarette smoke at home or outdoors. The state of cigarette and hookah smoking in the country is alarming among school students.
有线索表明，包括致癌物、重金属、其他颗粒以及高含量尼古丁在内的大量有毒物质可通过吸烟和水烟有效传播。2016年在伊朗瓦尔明市开展了一项试点研究，旨在使用全球青少年烟草调查（GYTS）问卷确定青少年学生吸烟和吸水烟的状况。
这是一项横断面研究。首先，在瓦尔明市63所学校中采用整群抽样，将48所学校视为主要群组，随机选择4所学校作为样本群组，并对接受7年、8年和9年教育的学生进行研究。注册学生总数为1108名，1075名学生回应了研究问卷。本研究收集信息的主要工具是世界卫生组织编制的GYTS问卷，由受试者填写。
总共有479名（44.6%）学生为男生，596名（55.4%）为女生。在1075名受试者中，接受7年、8年和9年教育的学生人数分别为369名（34.3%）、362名（33.7%）和344名（32.0%）。人群中吸烟和吸水烟的经历分别为9.2%和25.5%。关于总分平均值方面，尽管学生们态度相对较好，特别是行为意向（分别占总分的72%和88%），但男生的总知识得分平均仅为47%，女生为51%，这表明学生对吸烟不良影响的认识水平一般。
鉴于四分之一的学生有吸烟和吸水烟经历。近一半的学生在家中或户外接触香烟烟雾。该国学生吸烟和吸水烟的状况令人担忧。
