Introduction: Annually eight million people around the world are killed by the tobacco epidemic which is regarded as one of the biggest public health issues the world has ever faced. This research is intended to be a source of the latest findings on the prevalence of smokers and the association between smoking status with knowledge, attitude and perception toward tobacco products. Methods: This cross-sectional study was done among 221 students in University of Cyberjaya, Malaysia. A self-administered online based questionnaire was adapted from the one used in Global Adult Tobacco Survey (GATS) by the World Health Organization (WHO) and Ministry of Health (MOH), Malaysia. The questionnaire consists of sociodemographic profile, tobacco use habits, knowledge on tobacco products and their stance on local tobacco control initiatives. Results: A majority of the respondents were non-smokers (55.7%). There is a high prevalence of smok- ers among males (66.9%), in respondents aged less than 20 and between 30-39 years old (50.0%), in those of Chinese descent (60.4%), other religions and in widowers/divorcees (100.0%). Regardless of smoking status, all of the respondents agree that consuming tobacco products increases the likelihood of getting heart attack and lung cancer, (p= 0.460 and 0.121 respectively). There is also a significant association between smoking status and the knowledge of smokeless tobacco causing serious illnesses (p=0.027). The stance of students towards all of the local regulations and actions also shows significant association with their smoking status (p<0.05). Conclusion: Revisions in legislation and education are needed as there are still differences of knowledge, attitude and behaviour toward tobacco products with smoking status.
