Abstract

TOBACCO CONSUMPTION is recognized as a major risk factor for many diseases such as; cardiovascular diseases, stroke, and some cancers. Studying of smoking pattern is important to recognize the high-risk groups, and to use control and prevention programs. The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence rate of smoking, and to show the pattern of smoking by age, sex, educational attainment, and deprivation. This study was under taken in 1600 inhabitants (aged 18-84 years) using a self-completed questionnaire in 1999. The prevalence rate of daily smoking was 30 percent. Of them 44.7 percent had started smoking before the age of 18. The habit of smoking was more common among illiterate and less educated males, and the deprived groups (P<0.01). However, there was no significant difference between various age groups. The mean age to start smoking was 20.7 years. After cigarette smoking, Ghalian (3.5 %), Pipe (0.7 %), and Chopogh (0.2 %) were the common inhalants consumed among the population. Because of a high prevalence of smoking in the study population the control and prevention of smoking should be considered as a health priority in preventing these diseases. Educational programs for teenagers, persons with low education and people with low income as a means of prevention of tobacco use and the provision of facilites during the leisure time of the people should be taken into consideration.
