Background: Smoke is a major global health problem, causing more than 8 million deaths every 7 million years as a consequence of the use of tobacco directly and 1.3 million consequence exposure to cigarette smoke. In Indonesia, the prevalence of smokers aged 10-18 years increased from 7.2% (2013) to 9.1% (2018), making it the third country with the number of smokers the most. Global Youth Tobacco Survey data (2019) shows that 40.6% of students aged 13-15 years Once use tobacco, with 19.2% at the moment smoking. Body Mass Index (BMI) is used To evaluate relative weight to height. Based on Riskesdas 2018, in Indonesia 9.3% are underweight, 55.3% are typical, 13.6% are overweight, and 25.8% are obese.

Research purposes: To determine the impact of the number of cigarettes, duration of smoking, and BMI of students of the Faculty of Agriculture, Indonesian Methodist University, Medan based on the Brinkman index on students of the Faculty of Agriculture, University of Indonesia in 2024.

Research methods: This is a study of observational analytics with a design study using a cross-sectional study.

Research results: This study was primarily found in students consuming several cigarettes with <9 cigarettes/day, as many as 37 respondents (46.3%), then the duration of smoking was found in 51 respondents (63.7%) with a duration of smoking <10 years and Body Mass Index was found 28 respondents (35%) with a body mass index <18.5. There is a relationship between the number of cigarettes and Body Mass Index with a value of p = 0.045 (p0.05) and a relationship between the duration of smoking smoke and Index Mass Body with a p-value of 0.001 (p0.05). The factor with a more significant influence is the number of cigarette consumption with p-value = 0.013 and OR = 2.4.

Conclusion: There is a meaningful relationship between the number of cigarettes and the index mass body with a p-value = 0.045, and there is a long relationship between smoking and Body Mass Index with a p-value of 0.001
