Abstract: Objective To understand smoking status and analyze influencing factors of current smoking among college students in Wuhan, so as to provide a scientific basis for tobacco control on campus. Methods Using stratified cluster sampling method, 3 000 sophomores from four universities in Wuhan were selected to conduct a self-administered questionnaire survey. A Chi-square test and Logistic regression analysis were used to analyze smoking behavior and influencing factors of current smoking in college students. Results 27.33% of 2 891 college students had attempted smoking behavior, with an average age of （15 ± 4.70） years. The current smoking rate was 14.08% （407/2 891） among college students in Wuhan, 43.73%（178/407）and 24.08% （98/407）of current smokers chose to smoke in dormitories and toilets. Logistic regression analysis showed that college students who were male（OR=4.48）, studying in junior college（OR=1.38）, self-confessed to be in poor health（OR=2.90）, drinking alcohol（OR=4.30）, having smoking family members（OR=3.42）, with monthly living expenses of 1 000~1 999 and 2 000 and above（OR=1.59、2.52） were more likely to smoke now. Conclusion The smoking rate of college students in Wuhan is high. In order to effectively reduce the smoking rate, colleges and universities should formulate tobacco control intervention measures for different groups according to the characteristics of college students' smoking behavior, carry out health education and publicity, prohibit tobacco advertising activities, encourage and help college students to quit smoking and create a smoke-free environment on campus.
