The purpose of this study is to analyze the smoking and drinking culture among college students. The data were collected for 2 weeks from Sept. 7 to 18, 2015. Among a total of 475 cases of questionaries, only 467 cases were used. The data were analyzed by frequency, Chi-square test, and t-test using SPSS WIN 20.0.
The findings were summarized as follows:
First, the smoking rate of college students was 33.8% with male college students recording 52.4%, which was considerably higher than 9.0% of their female counterparts. The drinking rate of college students was 92.1%.
Second, there were significant differences in smoking depending on gender, age, major, religion, lifestyle, and average monthly living expenses. Significant differences were found in drinking depending on major and religion.
Third, the biggest number of the respondents said that they smoked ½~1 pack of cigarettes a day, started smoking in high school, and smoked a lot under stress with no significant differences between male and female students.
Fourth, the biggest number of the respondents stated that they drank 1-2 times a month, started drinking in college, had no experience of blackout, and drank 1-1½ bottle per drinking with statistically significant differences between male and female students.
Finally, the college students scored mean 3.46 points in subjective health conditions. Smoking and drinking had effects on their health in mean 1.40 and 2.17 points. There were significant differences depending on gender, smoking, and drinking.
Those findings raise a need to develop systematic long-term measures for the right smoking and drinking culture of college students.
