Background: The proportion of smokers in Jordan is one of the largest in the world and ranks number one the Middle East and second worldwide. Aim: The aim of this study was to describe the behavior, quit attempts and attitudes among pharmacy students in the pharmacy college at Isra University – Jordan. Methods: Participants answered a structured questionnaire and were randomly selected from students who smoke who were enrolled at the faculty of pharmacy at Isra University during the academic year of 2017-2018. Students were eligible to participate if they smoked regular cigarettes, or hookah or other types of smoke devices. Results: Most participants smoke cigarettes (n=82, 71.9%) over hookah. Thirty-seven students (32.5%) of the age group 20-25 have started smoking less than 5 years ago. A total of 72 students (63%) are highly addicted consuming at least one pack of 20 cigarettes or more per day. Most students (87.7%) spend between 50-100 JOD (~$70-141USD) monthly on smoking. Furthermore, 80 students (70.2%) have tried to quit before. Conclusions: The current study showed a positive attitude toward establishing designated smoking zones. Smokers also stated their eagerness to quit smoking. There is an urgent need to have more awareness campaigns and smoking cessation clinics or counselors on college campuses.

“…However, KCMA initially thought that medical personnel, such as pharmacists, nurses, medical students, and doctors, are more suitable lecturers than the education staff because cigarettes directly harm the body and health. Some papers reported the effectiveness of a school-based anti-smoking intervention by pharmacists, nurses, health professionals, and medical students [13,14,33,34]. Moreover, Hort et al pointed out that SPE was effective when teachers and doctors jointly taught the adverse effects of smoking [5].…”

Numerous studies have examined whether school-based smoking prevention education for minors reduces smoking rates, but consensus has not been established. Moreover, there are few reports about non-smoking classes offered by physicians with long-term results. Volunteer doctors have provided tobacco prevention classes in Kanazawa, Japan since 1998. The aim of this article is to assess whether the education by physicians was effective after eight years. A community area having 14 elementary schools was selected for this study. The study groups comprised randomized schools receiving the 45 minutes non-smoking education by physicians for 12-year-old sixth graders once a year and control schools with no intervention during three years from 2007 to 2009. A randomized controlled trial was conducted among 4,014 (1,615 educated and 2,399 control) students. After eight years, a questionnaire survey on the smoking behaviors of 20-year-old young adults within the community was conducted and 1,634 (631 educated and 1,003 control) replies were collected. The smoking rates of the two groups were compared. At the eight-year follow-up, the smoking rates in the educated group significantly decreased compared to those in the control, especially among males. The school-based smoking prevention education by physicians was effective in reducing the smoking rates among 12-year-old students 8 years later.
