A total of 209 randomly selected Malaysian university students (128 from Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia, 81 from the University of New South Wales) completed a self-filled questionnaire enquiring about their smoking behaviour and psychosocial characteristics. The prevalence of smoking was 26.6 per cent among students in Malaysia and 18.8 per cent among students in Australia (average 23.4%). Both samples have similar patterns in terms of age of starting smoking, time of the day when they smoked, family and peer history of smoking, and whether or not they inhaled deeply during smoking. The smokers tend to be male, studying beyond the first year, staying with peers outside the hostel, having financial sources other than a scholarship, and abnormal mental health score. However, the smokers from the Australian samples were noted to smoke less and made fewer attempts at quitting the habit.
总共209名随机挑选的马来西亚大学生（128名来自马来西亚国民大学，81名来自新南威尔士大学）完成了一份自我填写的问卷，询问他们的吸烟行为和心理社会特征。马来西亚学生中的吸烟率为26.6%，澳大利亚学生中的吸烟率为18.8%（平均为23.4%）。两个样本在开始吸烟的年龄、吸烟的时间段、家庭和同伴吸烟史以及吸烟时是否深深吸入等方面都有相似的模式。吸烟者往往是男性，就读于一年级以上，与宿舍外的同伴住在一起，有奖学金以外的经济来源，且心理健康得分异常。然而，澳大利亚样本中的吸烟者吸烟较少，戒烟尝试也较少。
