dc.description.abstractAbstract Introduction: Smoking tobacco is most common nowadays among dental students due to stress induced by practical workloads and exams. There is limited data regarding tobacco smoking among dental students. The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of tobacco smoking among online respondent dental students of a dental college. Methods: This was a descriptive cross-sectional study conducted on dental students from 15 July 2021 to 15 August 2021. Ethical approval was obtained from the Institutional Review Committee of K.D. Dental College and Hospital (Reference number: KDDC/Admin/2021/9990A). Data was collected through a structured questionnaire and responses were gathered using an online Google form survey with informed consent. A convenience sampling method was used. Point estimate and 95% confidence interval were calculated. Results: Among 60 online respondents, the prevalence of tobacco smoking was found to be 11 (18.33%) (17.04-24.56, 95% Confidence Interval). The percentage of participants who wanted to stop smoking now was 11 (18.33)%. Conclusions: The prevalence of tobacco smoking among the online dental respondents of a dental college was similar to the other studies done in similar settings.
