The knowledge about tobacco tax usage was only 15.0%, however, current smoke group was significantly high in cross tabulation ( [p¼0.0018] versus control: ex/never).

These result indicated that their subjective thinking were considered to be a good opinion (not social reject and stigmatize) and satisfactory towards themselves and the younger generation. Hope of the free of charge smoking cessation therapy and/or counseling in university(Health Care Center) was only 29.2%, regardless about the presence or absence of smoking history, 70.8% are wanted to share the information and support for quit smoking from above strategy.

Tobacco education include social situation in Japan. So, we should do more education and support for smoker with or without smoking. CLINICAL IMPLICATIONS: We would like to further advance this research. For this purpose, the achieving completely smokefree campus, not only our university, we think need initiatives of the entire university in Japan. In addition, by resolving the current college students and faculty/staff problems, the younger generation, it aims to contribute to that improvement will be prevention and cessation education to child(e.g. elementary and junior high schools), smoking current situation that is later than other countries. Additionally, we think that the terrible thing of indifference to the current tobacco situation.
