A 440 students population was studied, coming from an introductory course for new students, in the careers of medical technology, nursing and medicine, College of Health Sciences from a venezuelan university, during the year 2007. A structured survey was used for data collection. It was determined that average age for start of consumption was 14.99 ± 2.67 years. 5.2% of polled students accepted to consume tobacco at present.

We suggest educational anti-tobacco programs oriented to stimulate ceasement of tobacco consumption and prevent students to start smoking.his El tabaquismo constituye la primera causa prevenible de morbi-mortalidad en países desarrollados, está relacionado con fallecimientos debidos a cáncer de pulmón, enfermedad pulmonar obstructiva crónica, cardiopatía isquémica y enfermedad cerebrovascular, incrementando la morbilidad para estas enfermedades y otras diversas patologías relacionadas, acortando la esperanza de vida y ocasionando importantes gastos al pais y convirtiéndose así en un verdadero problema social. El presente estudio de tipo descriptivo correlacional, con diseño observacional transversal, tuvo como objetivo determinar la prevalencia de tabaquismo en estudiantes universitarios, referido a si han probado algún tipo de tabaco, qué tipo de tabaco han consumido, cuantos consumen esta sustancia y con qué frecuencia. La población se conformó por 440 estudiantes del curso introductorio dictado a los nuevos ingresos, en las carreras de bioanálisis, enfermería y medicina, de la Facultad de Ciencias de la Salud de una universidad venezolana, durante el año 2007. La recolección de información se realizó mediante una encuesta estructurada. Se determinó que la edad promedio de inicio en el consumo fue de 14,99 ± 2,67 años. El 5,2% de los estudiantes encuestados reconoció consumir tabaco actualmente. En este grupo predominó el consumo ocasional, situación ideal para la creación de semilleros de consumidores estables. Sugerimos la implantación de programas de educación antitabáquica orientados a estimular el abandono del consumo de tabaco y desalentar su inicio. Escuela de Salud Pública y Ambiente. Fac. Cs.
