Clinical Trial Summary

Almost everyone is aware these days is aware about the risk of smoking. Still many people start this habit specially in early life and during college year. We aim to investigate in this study if there is a drive to smoke in people with vasovagal tendency to improve their symptoms, even if not aware of this. Vasovoagal symptoms are common and include dizziness, smoking, sweating, abdominal pain, fatigue and syncope. Some studies have shown correlation between smoking and a positive tilt table test which is indicative of vasovagal tendency. By collecting the information regarding smoking habit and vasovagal symptoms analysis can be done to see if there is correlation between these two factors

Description:

Methods

A questionnaire will be conducted among university students to investigate the tendency toward vasovagal symptoms and also smoking habits. Statistical correlation will be subsequently conducted to see if there is correlation between those two problems (vasovagal symptoms and smoking)

Study criteria inclusion

Benefit to the patient:

There is no direct benefit for participation in the study. The information obtained may help in the future to find factors that increase smoking and being aware of these factors may help in controlling the habit of smoking.
