Abstract: The present study aimed to explore the relationships between smoking, drinking and different impulsivity traits among university freshmen. A total of 1281 freshman students randomly selected in a local university were assessed with the Fagerstrom Test for Nicotine Dependence, the Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test, the Barratt Impulsiveness Scale, and the UPPSP impulsive behavior scale. The results showed that: (1) the rate of smokers was 5. 9% and the rate of drinkers was 19.5%. Males were more involved into smoking and drinking than females; (2) Logistic regression analyses controlling for demographic variables showed that negative urgency and positive urgency were risk factors for smoking, and sensation seeking was the risk factor for drinking. We concluded that different impulsive traits might be diversely linked to freshmen smoking and drinking behaviors.

Key words: university freshmen, smoking, drinking, impulsivity, personality
