Abstract

Background: Smoking and drugs are the chief causes of early mortality in the developed and developing countries. Mass production of cigarettes and widespread advertisement has caused many individuals to show interest in them and there has been a severe in their use during the last decades. Smoking cigarettes is an addictive behavior and getting rid of addiction caused by it is difficult, which indicates the importance of preventive measure for elimination or reduction of this worldwide problem.Logical practical theory is one of the most important theories that accounts for the foundation of studies relevant to CIGARETTE SMOKING. This theory emphasizes on ATTITUDEs in shaping the behavior. Methods: This study was carried out to investigate the ATTITUDEs of STUDENTs in Guilan University of Medical Sciences (GUMS) in a descriptive- analytical method. Statistical population consisted of 290 female and male STUDENTs. Data-collection was carried out by a questionnaire consisting of two parts (1) demographic information, (2) ATTITUDE measurement based on Lickert Scale.Results: Finding showed that the greatest percentage of STUDENTs was 59% for females and mean age of STUDENTs was 23.25 years. The majority of STUDENTs were studying in the first years and most of them used dormitory and STUDENTs loans. The highest percent of STUDENTs (83%) had in smoker friends and 93% of them had never used cigarettes.Conclusion: The majority of STUDENTs (86.9%) had proper ATTITUDE toward smoking (they were anti-smoking) and they believed in hazardous side-effects and disadvantages of CIGARETTE SMOKING. Research finding suggest a strong relation between CIGARETTE SMOKING and ATTITUDE toward smoking. Thus, by providing appropriate scientific information and by changing in the ATTITUDE of individuals, consumption rate of cigarettes can be reduced among high-risk groups such as the youth. Besides, the families should pay adequate attention to friend selection of their children. There was a significant correlation between education level, personal and parents income level, educational level of the parents and the number of smoker friends with the ATTITUDE toward cigarette-smoking.
