All over, the popularity of cigarette smoking is significant among university students, containing health-related fields’ students, especially medical students. Being the role model in the future, the excessive prevalence of smoking among medical students is serious problem.

First the online questionnaires were filled by the students, and in the next step we calculated the total score of knowledge and attitudes 0 to 15 and 15 to 75 points, respectively. Then we compared the mean score of knowledge and attitudes toward smoking. Data were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics in SPSS 16 software. Results: Totally, 210 medical students participated in this study. More than half of them were male (56.1%). The mean age (SD) of participants was 21.91(5.11) years. The average scores of knowledge and attitude (SD) towards smoking were 9.21(3.45) and 26.13 (3.18), respectively. There was a significant relationship between the mean score of students' knowledge and attitudes toward smoking and gender, marital status and educational level (P-value<0.05).
