However, But the average of attitude and education score of the students did not vary significantly (P>0. 05). Conclusion: Most of the students had sufficient knowledge about the risks of tobacco use and positive attitude toward Tobacco cessation counseling. It was concluded that the students would only pay attention to the principals of smoking cessation counselling when they actually believe in them. Therefore, in order to improve the performance of students, training should be given on tobacco cessation techniques at the Dental schools, thus, that students could play an effective role in Tobacco cessation counseling for patients.
