The smoking habits of all male and female students enrolled in Riyadh Secondary Health Institutes of the Ministry of Health in 1990 were studied using a self-administered questionnaire. The overall smoking prevalence was 22%. Cigarettes were virtually the only form of tobacco used. Males smoked about twice the females in terms of prevalence (24% and 14%) and intensity (14 and 6 cigarettes per day). The majority of smokers for both sexes started the habit at or before the age of 16 years and the majority of them thought seriously about quitting and attempted to quit but only 12% of them were so far successful. Psychologic pressures, smoking contacts and foreign travel were important factors in relapses. Religious, health and professional considerations were the most important motives for attempting to quit the habit among smokers and for not attempting the habit itself for the non smokers.
1990年，通过一份自填式问卷对利雅得卫生部下属中等卫生院校所有男女学生的吸烟习惯进行了研究。总体吸烟率为22%。香烟几乎是唯一使用的烟草形式。在吸烟率（分别为24%和14%）和吸烟强度（分别为每天14支和6支）方面，男性吸烟人数约为女性的两倍。大多数男女吸烟者在16岁及之前就开始吸烟，并且大多数人认真考虑过戒烟并尝试戒烟，但到目前为止只有12%的人成功戒烟。心理压力、吸烟接触和出国旅行是复吸的重要因素。宗教、健康和职业方面的考虑是吸烟者尝试戒烟以及非吸烟者不尝试吸烟的最重要动机。
