Abstract

Objective of the study was to survey nicotine addictions and attitudes at university of physical education.

Methods and structure of the study. We run a questionnaire survey on a sample of students (n=133) majoring in 49.02.01 physical education discipline. The questionnaire survey was designed to group smokers and nonsmokers with/ without past smoking experiences, and test the groups for awareness of the nicotine addiction health risks, influences of different social/ environmental factors on their attitudes to smoking, motivations, etc.

Results and conclusion. The sample was found to believe that the anti-smoking initiatives should include administrative restrictions on smoking; active campaigning to keep the students informed on the health risks and methods to quit smoking; and social climates with zero tolerance to smoke. The anti-smoking campaigners are recommended to prioritize the following three approaches: zero-tolerance social climates; efficient stress-coping strategies to help smokers; and administrative restrictions with no-smoking zones and regulations.
