Smoking is always thought to be health risk habit almost in every society. It cases deaths and many diseases all over the world. In spite of this, many college students are being addicted to smoking in all countries. There have been many research works regarding college students’ smoking habit where psychological or economic factors have been regarded as cause behind smoking. But there are many social factors which play important roles in smoking, but existing researches neglected this. The current research has been done in the context of a village of Rajshahi district of Bangladesh and aims to know the importance of socio-cultural environment in smoking, and to understand what strategies college reading students occupy in smoking.
