利用1995年全国大学生健康危险行为调查的数据，研究了18至24岁大学生开始吸烟的年龄及其与随后吸烟的关系。大多数学生(70%)都尝试过吸烟；在尝试过的学生中，42%是现在吸烟的人，19%是现在经常吸烟的人，13%是现在每天吸烟的人。大多数(81%)曾经每天吸烟的人在18岁或更年轻时开始吸烟，19%的人在19岁或更大时开始每天吸烟。女性和男性一样有可能报告说曾经抽过一整支烟或每天都吸烟。大多数曾经每天吸烟的学生(82%)曾试图戒烟，但四分之三的学生仍然吸烟。在高中和大学两级都需要旨在防止吸烟和帮助吸烟者戒烟的政策和方案，以减少年轻人吸烟的比例。
The ages at which 18- to 24-year-old college students started smoking and its relationship to subsequent smoking were explored, using data from the 1995 National College Health Risk Behavior Survey. Most students (70%) had tried smoking; among those who had tried, 42% were current smokers, 19% were current frequent smokers, and 13% were current daily smokers. The majority (81%) who had ever smoked daily began doing so at age 18 years or younger, and 19% began smoking daily at age 19 years or older. Women were as likely as men to report ever having smoked a whole cigarette or ever having smoked daily. Most students (82%) who had ever smoked daily had tried to quit, but 3 in 4 were still smokers. Policies and programs designed to prevent the initiation of smoking and to help smokers quit are needed at both the high school and the college levels to reduce the proportion of young adults who smoke cigarettes.
