Smoking and vaping prevention at Siam University (Siam University,
Thailand)

Description:

Siam University is a smoke-free university. It has monitored smoking on campus as part of “The Last Puff”, the smoking-cessation programme of the Faculty of Pharmacy: cigarette smoking on campus fell from 68.10% in 2013 to 25.50% in 2018–2019, a fall of 42.6 percentage points in six years. To report current prevalence for HURS, the University surveys students and personnel in academic year 2026 for both cigarettes and e-cigarettes (Sections 2–3).

Prevention and cessation. Current users found in the survey are referred to The Last Puff cessation service at Osot Siam Pharmacy, where about 60 pharmacy student volunteers a year, supervised by lecturers, help about 40 smokers a year to quit (35% quit rate). The Nursing Student Club for a Smoke-free Thai Society runs a youth anti-smoking project every year, the Student Union and the Faculties of Nursing and Pharmacy hold an annual smoke-free event, and smoke-free media with the national Quitline 1600 are shared on campus and online. A student team won Second Runner-Up in the “My Space Is Smoke-Free” contest in February 2026.

Section 2 – Survey method, academic year 2026

Design: anonymous cross-sectional online survey
(Google Forms) of students and personnel, shared through faculty LINE
groups, class advisors, staff e-mail and campus events such as health
check-up days. No names or student or staff IDs are collected.
Sample size: Yamane’s formula, n = N ÷ (1 + N e²),
at 95% confidence and 5% margin of error (Table ZT 1.2.2).
Sampling: proportional stratified sampling by
faculty and year of study for students, and by unit for personnel.
Definitions: current smoker – smoked at least one
cigarette in the past 30 days; current vaper – used an e-cigarette or
heated tobacco product in the past 30 days; tobacco user – either.
Analysis: prevalence = current users ÷ respondents ×
100, for cigarettes, e-cigarettes and any tobacco use, for students,
personnel and combined (weighted by population), with 95% confidence
intervals.
Survey period and responsible unit: [__ to __
2026; e.g. Faculty of Nursing / Faculty of Pharmacy with the Office of
Student Affairs]

ยังไม่มีข้อมูล ตัวเลขล่าสุดที่เผยแพร่คือ 25.50% (2561–2562) ซึ่งเป็นระดับต่ำสุด
(≥20%)
ต้องทำแบบสำรวจปี 2569 ตามแบบสอบถามในภาคผนวก: นักศึกษาอย่างน้อย 385 คน
และบุคลากรอย่างน้อย 256 คน (จากบุคลากร 708 คนตามเล่มแผน – ตรวจกับ GI
6)
ภาพในเอกสารเป็นกิจกรรมป้องกันและช่วยเลิกบุหรี่ (ใช้ประกอบ ZT 1.1 ได้ด้วย) –
