Indonesia merupakan salah satu negara dengan prevalensi perokok tertinggi di dunia. Saat ini merokok masih menjadi gaya hidup di lingkungan mahasiswa, tetapi perilaku merokok pada populasi di wilayah TImur Indonesia terutama Papua masih jarang diteliti. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui perilaku merokok pada mahasiswa Fakultas Kedokteran (FK) dan fakultas non-kesehatan (Fakultas Teknik Pertambangan dan Perminyakan/FTPP). Studi ini menggunakan desain studi potong lintang. Pengambilan data dilakukan pada Maret 2019 dengan teknik total sampling dan instrument yang digunakan yaitu kuesioner tervalidasi dari Global Adult Tobacco Survey (GATS) dan Global Youth Tobacco Survey (GYTS). Didapatkan 113 responden mahasiswa FK dan 72 responden mahasiswa FTPP. Perilaku merokok 1 batang setiap hari dalam 30 hari terakhir didapatkan terbanyak pada mahasiswa FTPP (29,8%) dibandingkan FK (7,1%). Ditemukan juga kekerapan kebiasaan yang berpengaruh terhadap kesehatan seperti mengunyah sirih, mengunyah pinang, VAPE bahkan konsumsi alkohol pada populasi baik mahasiswa FK maupun mahasiswa FTPP. Prevalensi merokok, menyirih dan konsumsi alkohol pada mahasiswa fakultas teknik lebih tinggi daripada mahasiswa fakultas kedokteran dan perlu dilakukan penelitian terkait terjadinya gangguan kesehatan dimasa depan.
Kata kunci: merokok, menyirih, mahasiswa kedokteran, mahasiswa teknik.
