约旦北部 712 名大学生完成了调查问卷，以估计他们的吸烟率。据报告，当前吸烟率为 35.0%（男性为 56.9%，女性为 11.4%）。大约 80% 是吸烟者。大多数（86.3%）吸烟者每天吸烟。男性、收入较高、学业成绩较低以及吸烟的朋友或家人数量较多与吸烟率增加有关。与其他院系的学生相比，宗教和法律系的学生吸烟的可能性较小。结果表明，政策制定者需要在约旦大学启动反吸烟计划。
Questionnaires were completed by 712 university students in north Jordan to estimate their prevalence of smoking. The reported prevalence of current smoking was 35.0% (56.9% for males and 11.4% for females). About 80% were cigarettes smokers. The majority (86.3%) of smokers smoked daily. Male sex, higher income, lower academic attainment and higher number of friends or family members who smoke were associated with increased prevalence of smoking. Those in the faculty of religion and law were less likely to smoke compared to those in other faculties. The results suggest that policy-makers need to initiate antismoking programmes in Jordanian universities.
