“…This result is consistent with the results for Saudi college students of both genders: having a family member who smoked was a predictor of smoking in other members of the family (Mandil et al, 2011;Mandil et al, 2010). A similar correlation was reported in studies from Cameroon (Mbatchou et al, 2013), the UAE (Mandil et al, 2005), Spain (Fernández et al, 2015), and Bahrain (Al Haddad & Hamadeh, 2003). When parents are the ones who smoke, it is very difficult for them to convince their children to avoid or stop doing something that they see their parents do.…”

Tobacco epidemic is one of the biggest public health threats the world has ever encountered. The objective of this study was to identify the prevalence of nicotine dependence among university students in Jordan and assess factors associated with this dependence. A cross-sectional study using simple random sampling was conducted among university students from 3 public and 3 private universities selected for their convenience from central, middle, and east Jordan via administering a questionnaire between October 2016 and January 2017. The total number of participants was 892. The overall nicotine dependence was 51.2%. Correlates to nicotine dependence were studying at an undergraduate level (OR=3.6; 95% CI: 1.4-8.1); studying humanities (OR=1.73; 95% CI: 1.2-2.1); existing of a smoking family member (OR=1.63; 95% CI: 1.5-1.9); starting smoking before age of 15 years (OR=1.60; 95% CI: 1.2-2.1); water pipe smoking (OR=1.48; 95% CI: 1.1-2.0); and studying at governmental universities (OR=1.36; 95% CI: 1.0-1.8). Several socio-demographic characteristics had an impact on nicotine dependence. Future research is necessary to further improve our understanding of motives for smoking and dependence.
