dc.description.abstractObjective: The aim of this study is to investigate the prevalence of smoking and related factors among medical students of Canakkale Onsekiz Mart University Medical School. The results of our research are expected to develop training about smoking prevention starting from our faculty and contribute to Global Health Professionals Survey data and discussions determined by WHO, CDC and Canadian Public Health Association. Methods: This is a cross-sectional study conducted at Canakkale Onsekiz Mart University Faculty of Medicine. The questionnaire including demographic characteristics and status smoking of students was applied between December 2018-January 2019. The data of the study was analyzed with the statistical package program SPSS 20.0. Results: In this study, the number of medical students reached was 652. 52.6% of the students were female. 30.5% of the medical students were currently smoking. It was found that age (OR: 1.13 95% CI: 1.05-1.21), male gender (OR: 1.9 95% CI: 1.40-2.67) and boarding in high school (OR: 1.5 95% CI: 1.01-2.26) significantly increased the risk of smoking. Conclusion: The prevalence of smoking was high among students of Canakkale Onsekiz Mart University Faculty of Medicine. The rate of smoking increased during medical education. The literature sug-gests that physicians who smoke cannot be effective in smoking prevention. In medical education, training about preventing the use of tobacco and tobacco products is insufficient. In addition, there should be gained to medical students with the knowledge and skills that can protect their own health and then advocate for anti-smoking campaigns in the community. © 2023, Turkish Society of Public Health Specialists.
