A descriptive cross-sectional study was carried out from March 5 to April 12, 2021, on all student to baccousers enrolled from Bachelor's to Master's degrees at UASZ, using an anonymous questionnaire. Our sample consisted of 54 student to baccousers, 27 of whom were regular and 27 occasion alusers. The results showed that the social environment of life, the entourage of relatives, friends and university staff, and the media play a very important role in to baccoconsumption. The vast majority of student smokers (96.3%) in this study were aware of the harmful effects of tobacco on health. Lung cancer, coughing and sexual impotence are seen as the diseases to which to baccousers are exposed, as well as other consequences such as darkening of the teeth.
