Results: According to the results of present study, the prevalence of cigarette Smoking and ever hookah Smoking was 32. 7% and 36. 1%, respectively. About 11. 2% of students had used at least one illicit drug. After controlling potential confounders, Optimism score was negatively related to cigarette Smoking stages (OR = 0. 90, 95% CI: 0. 79 to 0. 97) and illicit drugs use (OR = 0. 91, 95% CI: 0. 70 to 0. 96) yet was not associated with hookah Smoking (OR = 0. 98, 95% CI: 0. 82 to 1. 31). Conclusions: Optimism and pessimism have an important role in tendency of students to tobacco Smoking and substance abuse. Onthe other hand, the co-occurrence of Smoking and substance abuse is highamongstudents with low Optimism scores. Therefore, educating and consulting students regarding positivism and promising could prevent from Smoking and substance abuse and probably transition to higher stages.
