摘要：

Cross-sectional study was conducted on 774 students from a Syrian University using questionnaire to estimate the prevalence of smoking among University students and to identify factors related to smoking. Smoking prevalence was (20.75%). Mean age (years) of smoker (25 +/- 2.2) significantly older than non-smoker (21 +/- 1.8). Smoking prevalence among males was (26.1%) significantly higher than (9.5%) among females. Female student consumed significantly higher number of cigarettes /day (21 +/- 5) than the male (9 +/- 2). Smoking was significantly higher (27.8%) among students living away from their families than (16.2%) those living with families. (c) 2012 Published by Elsevier B. V.
