Statistical methods used were frequency, mean, standard deviation, t-test and ANOVA. Also Pearson's correlation analysis and regression analysis were used. Smoking motives are smoking behavior, key. Systolic blood pressure, hemoglobin, and smoking behavior were significantly correlated with CO2 concentration. Body weight was significantly correlated with height, SBP, DBP, AST, ALT, Γ-GTP, and CO 2 concentration and stress. There was a statistically significant correlation between SBP, DBP, ALT, hemoglobin, and hematocrit. Leukocyte was significantly correlated with hematocrit, and stress and Γ-GTP were also significantly correlated. Health promotion activities showed a significant negative correlation with smoking motivation.
