Factors related to smoking were: living in the western provinces, bachelorhood, a positive perspective on CIGARETTEs, male gender, having friends that smoke HOOKAH, low grade point average, and lack of close relationship with family.Conclusion: High prevalence of addiction to tobacco in undergraduate students calls for implementation of effective preventive measures.
