Introduction: As early as the 17th and 18th centuries, famous painters from all over Europe already depicted characters smoking – an indication of how quickly the habit of smoking spread to become one of the greatest acculturation phenomena in the world. Objective: To assess the prevalence of smoking among students of Physical Education at Universidade Federal do Acre (UFAC). Methods: This was a cross-sectional, analytical study. Questionnaires were applied based on the Global Health Professions Student Survey and the Fagerström test. Results and discussion: Of the 226 respondents, 58% were male and 73.5% were single; mean age was 24.16 years. In the sample, 219 (96.9%) were non-smokers, and only seven (3.1%) were smokers (5.06 cigarettes/day), i.e., prevalence was low. Interacting with friends who smoke had a significant effect as a factor that leads to the habit of smoking (p < 0.005). This is due to the social use of tobacco and group identification. Also, 31.5% of the sample had already used other smoking tobacco products, and the current prevalence was 6.2% (higher than the prevalence of smoking). Conclusions: The 21st century has been showing a high prevalence of use of smoking tobacco products other than cigarettes, especially smoking hookahs. This occurs, on the other hand, due to acculturation, and on the other, to the success of anti-tobacco strategies.
