We performed an epidemiological study to determine the prevalence of smoking and tobacco-use and awareness of risks of tobacco use among school children.Students in randomly selected schools in Jaipur were studied. Students in classes 9-12 (age 13-18 years, boys 2866, girls 939) were enrolled.

Smoking cigarettes or bidis was present in 43 boys (1.5%, 72.8% of users) and 8 girls (0.8%, 50.0% of users). Smoking or tobacco use was present in immediate family of 1208 boys (42.1%) and 304 girls (32.4%) (p<0.001) but was significantly more in family of children who used tobacco (boys 51/59, 86.4%, girls 11/16, 68.8%). 2842 boys (99.2%) boys and 934 girls (99.5%) were aware that tobacco use is harmful and similar proportions disliked it.
