    Abstract

    The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of the use of tobacco products and waterpipes and to investigate the associated correlates, in particular perceptions and beliefs about the adverse health consequences of waterpipe use and its social acceptability. The study involved the administration of an email survey to all students at the four resident universities in the Western Cape Province of South Africa during September 2013. 4578 students completed the survey (4.3% response rate). The Western Cape Universities are Stellenbosch University (SU), Cape Peninsula University of Technology (CPUT), the University of Cape Town (UCT), and the University of the Western Cape (UWC).
