Smoking habits and the related sociodemographiccharacteristics in University Students

Öz:
OBJECTIVES: Smoking is an important public health issue in Turkey. This study set out to investigate the smoking prevalence among frst andfourth grade university students as well as the associated socio-demographic variables.MATERIAL AND METHODS: A survey was carried out by the International Children s Centre (ICC) in the faculties of Science and Literature,Education and Medicine of nine Turkish Universities to determine the knowledge and life styles of the 1st and 4th grade university studentsin adolescence (2009). A total of 5.221 students were evaluated. Data were analysed using SPPS 16.0-9907290 statistical package program.RESULTS: The frst grade students with illiterate mothers (23.0%), those who were living alone at home (37.7%) and those who consideredreceiving inadequate pocket money (24.9%) had a higher level of smoking prevalence (p<0.05). The fourth grade students with illiteratemothers (34.9%), those who were living with their friends (34.0%), those who perceived their economic situation bad (37.7%) and thosewho considered receiving inadequate pocket money (36.3%) had a higher level of smoking prevalence (p<0.05).CONCLUSION: A relationship between smoking habits of university students and some socio-demographic characteristics was found.We believe that more priority should be given to health promotion interventions among university students, especially among those of lowsocioeconomic status. On the other hand, in order to monitor the effcacy of smoking-related interventions among young people, there is aneed for early detection of young individuals who are at risk and urgent interventions should be carried out.
