Moreover, Cues to action was effective predictor of smoking behavior (r=0.259). Conclusions: Thefindings of this study show that the prevalence of smoking in the studied sample is somewhat lowerthan other regions of Iran, but it should be noted that if no interventions are done to prevent smokingin this age group.
