RESUMO
A descriptive study to determine the magnitude and factors in cigarette smoking was carried out on 60 Makerere University students; 1988/89. The prevalence of cigarette smoking was 21.7 per cent. The major factors in cigarette smoking were sex and marital status. Men may be the ones who pass over the behaviour to women. It suggested that the prevalence of cigarette smoking can be reduced by public health workers persuading and working with government against smoking. A more realistic view about smoking habits can be obtained by studying larger adolescent populations in Uganda
