INTRODUCTION
Smoking is a habit but curable. Considered as curable but few people try to control
themselves from doing it. People, students and even professionals are often tempted to
smoke. For some, smoking relieves tension; superiority among others, curiosity,
satisfaction, and a form of self deception but the adverse consequences of smoking is

obvious that smoking is one of the major problems of every college student. Many

Many people tried self discipline to control the temptation of smoking. Others
would try re- lifestyle and refocus their attention just to stop themselves from doing it.
But worse, others don’t know what to do and they simply give in. Others on the other
hand, would smoke not because they don’t know what to do but simply because they

Studies have indicated that some student does smoking during their vacant time
than studying their lessons. Smoking in school is becoming popular substitute for
learning. There are some factors of smoking which has the social approval from
parents, faculty and friends. Some studies shows that student with low self – esteem is
actually more likely to smoke than student with high self – esteem because of the
negative evaluation that they might receive from the people around them.

Theoretical Framework
Smoking has been practiced in one form or another since ancient times.
Perception surrounding smoking has varied over time and from one place to another;
holy and sinful, sophisticated and vulgar, a panacea and deadly health hazard. Only
viewed in a decidedly negative light. Today medical studies have proven that smoking
is among the leading causes of diseases such as stenosis, lung cancer, heart attacks and
chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, and can also lead to birth defects. The well-
proven health hazards of smoking have caused many countries to institute high taxes on

curb smoking.

nicotine dependent than smokers with no such history, and suggests smoking cessation
may prompt a relapse to drinking among a small number of smokers with a history of

alcoholism have more difficulty quitting smoking and are likely to relapse back to

out of learning. This process therefore has consequences not only in terms of
observable behaviors but also with respect to potentials fro the individual's action.
In the early studies of attitudes, it was quite common to rely largely on the
description on individual's attitudes, their direction in terms of valence, and the belief
system that they constituted. More recently, attitudes have been viewed with
considerably greater stress on what can be called their structural relationships and
functional features. The first of these newer emphases has been called "cognitive
interaction'' which conveys the idea of a relationship between attitudes within the
psychological field. It also encompasses the process by which new experiences become

There are great ways to approach the organization of attitudes, but for
convenience, we can consider them with reference the three major components and

Conceptual Literature
Smoking is the practice of inhaling tobacco from a pipe or cigarette. The custom
of smoking tobacco is thought to have started in the Americas. In the late 1400's,
English and Spanish explorers returning from the New World brought back to Europe
the custom of pipe smoking, which they had learned from Indians. Cigarette smoking
may have started among the Aztecs of Mexico, who smoked shredded tobacco rolled
11
inside corn husks. Until the 1900's tobacco was used mainly in cigars, chewing tobacco
and snuff. Later cigarette smoking became popular and increased sharply after World
In 1964 the United States Public Health Service released a landmark document,
smoking in health: Report of the Advisory Committee to the Surgeon General, which
concluded that smoking is a major cause of cancer of the lung, mouth and throat. Since,
then researchers have shown that each year cigarette smoking cause more than 300,000
premature deaths in the United States alone, principally from the heart disease, cancer
and chronic (long – lasting) obstructive lung disease, such as emphysema. In 1965,
congress adopted legislation requiring that all cigarette packages carry a warning about
the health hazard of smoking. Cigarette advertisements on radio and television have

Campaigns aimed at educating the Public about the health hazards of smoking
have been very successful. Studies shows that 90% of the U.S. adult population now
recognizes that cigarette smoking cause lung cancer, heart disease and emphysema.
Teenagers have begun turning away from cigarettes. The percentage of high school
seniors who smoke every day has fallen from 29 % in 1977 to about 20% in 1987. It is
critical that people recognize that dangers of smoking before they consider taking up
the habit. Smoking causes smokers cough, a lower capacity for exercise, addiction to

Since the main purpose of this study was to determine the effect of smoking in
the health condition and the academic and clinical performances of the student nurses.
Research Design
In this study, the descriptive research design is use because we want to know if
smoking has great effect on the clinical and academic performance of nursing students.
What is really their reason of smoking? Descriptive research is the most widely

The researcher requested the approval of the English Teacher to gather the
pertinent data necessary to answer the objectives of the investigation. Approval from
the Ungos National High School Registrar for the procurement of grades was also
sought upon approval; the researcher personally copied the averages of the academic
grades as well as the grades of the IV-Narra Students. Other information which was
needed to establish the profile of the respondents was also gathered from the same
office.
Research Instrument
This study will make use of a survey questionnaire compose parts to gather the
needed data. It will be supplemented by the academic of the student IV-Narra S.Y.
2010 – 2011. It will be further supplied with interview to UNHS Students to collaborate
The following statistical tools were utilized to analyze the gathered data to answer
the first objective which sought whether 4th year Students in UNHS are favorable or
not, towards smoking. Objective 2 and 3 determine the attitudes between the male and
female and the regular and 4th year Student towards smoking.
