Smoking is one of the major factors that threatens the health of teenagers, which teenagers tend to use very easily. Considering the widespread prevalence of smoking behavior among teenagers, it is necessary and important to know the reasons for its tendency. Based on this, the current research entitled "Investigation of the causes and factors affecting the frequency of adolescent tobacco use", is a descriptive-analytical research with a quantitative approach, which using a survey method, studies the etiology of adolescent smoking among seventh grade students in Rabat Karim city in the academic year 2022-2023. For sampling, 20 educational centers were selected from 79 educational centers by stratified random sampling method which 750 students from 956 of them of them participated voluntarily. Among the sample size, information was collected using a questionnaire tool, and this population was reduced to 700 people after collecting the data and removing the incomplete questions. The SPSS software was used to analyze the obtained data. The results of the research show that the following criteria are involved in the adolescents' tobacco consumption: the experience of smoking among family members, smoking by males at home, the experience of smoking hookah by all family members, along with the low education of parents, as well as weak family supervision. Publicity of smoking and the initiation of smoking at home are influential family factors. Also, social factors such as the experience of smoking hookah among relatives and the use of tobacco by friends, the way of spending free time, type of school, gender, and the individual factors of curiosity and age have been influential with the tendency of teenagers towards tobacco.
