Introduction. Daily cigarette smoking is associated with high morbidity and mortality in adults. This pattern of tobacco use is established during the early adolescence. Among adolescents, daily cigarette smoking is a strong predictor of illegal, addictive substance use. The prevalence of daily cigarette smoking is not known in Colombian adolescent middle-school students. Objective. To assess smoking prevalence, daily cigarette smoking and associated factors among middle school-students in Bucaramanga, northeast Colombia. Materials and methods. An anonymous questionnaire concerning illegal and legal substance use was administered to a random sample of 2,586 students. Results. The group mean age was 13.0 years; 54.9% was male; 32.0% was in sixth grade, 31.7% in seventh, 25.2% in eighth and 11.1% in ninth grade, with 67.1% enrolled in public schools. The prevalence of daily cigarette smoking lasting the month prior to the questionnaire was 3.8% (95%CI 2.7-4.9). Logistic regression showed a significant association between being the best friend of a smoker or a drinker of alcohol (OR=3.71; 95%CI 1.71-8.04), having low academic performance perception (OR=3.83; 95%CI 1.0-14.2), and being older age (OR=1.4; 95%CI 1.2-1.8). Conclusions. These data demonstrated that one in 26 middle-school student adolescents from Bucaramanga is an everyday smoker. The most important associated factor was being the best friend of a smoker or a drinker of alcohol.

This paper approaches the prevalence of tobacco consumption in the university population of the University Miguel Hernandez, with the aim of starting up tobacco prevention and treatment programs. The analyzed groups belong to a sample (n = 660) that represents students, administrative staff, and researchers and teachers. Data was gathered during the year 2003, using a self-administered questionnaire. The results indicate that the smoking population of this university corresponds with the general population of the Valencian Community. Significant differences clearly appear regarding with the gender variable, women consume more tobacco than men, despite the national surveys results. The highest consuming rates are located between the 20 and 30 years old in men, and between 40 and 50 in women. It could be highlighted that the average consumption of daily cigarettes of the smokers is significantly different from the national level average, being in our sample very high.

Introduction: cigarette consumption increases annually the number of deaths. However, smoking is common among Colombian medicine students and not much is known about the associated variables in this population. Objective: to identify the associated variables with daily cigarette consumption among medicine students from a private university in Bogotá-Colombia, in 2010. Methods: a cross-sectional observational analytical study was carried out, in which medicine students over 18 years old participated from a university in Bogotá. Demographic variables, academic performance, abusive alcohol consumption (AAC) (AUDIT), anxiety and depressive symptoms (ADS) (Personal Health Questionnaire), perceived stress (Perceived Stress Scale-10), risk of eating disorder (RED) (SCOFF Questionnaire) and daily cigarette consumption were quantified in the past month. Results: a total of 275 students participated in this study (with an average age of 21.7 years old, SD = 2.8), 62.5% women. It was noted that 82 students (28.4%) reported unsatisfactory academic performance; 86 (29.8%) AAC; 47 (16.3%) ADS; 23 (8.0%) high perceived stress; 59 (20.4%) RED; and 35 (12.1%) daily cigarette consumption in the past month. Ages over 20 years (OR=3.13, 95%CI 1.33-7.41, p=0.007) were associated with daily consumption in the last month. Conclusion: the daily cigarette consumption is common among medicine students from a private university in Bogotá-Colombia. Smoking is higher in students over 20 years old. It’s necessary to promote information to stop the cigarette consumption in this population. Rev.cienc.biomed. 2016;7(1):18-24.
