Implication

Cross-sectional study finds high smoking rates among students, highlighting need for culturally-informed public health interventions.

Key Points

  • The prevalence of smoking among university students was 66.1%, indicating a significant public health issue.
  • Despite 75.7% awareness of health risks, 40% of daily smokers suggests challenges in smoking cessation.
  • A cross-sectional questionnaire-based study assessed smoking behaviours and attitudes of 115 students.
  • High exposure to secondhand smoke at home raises concerns about enforcement of smoke-free policies.
