Tobacco smoking in a high-IQ society in Indonesia.
Article in Tobacco induced diseases, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
introductionIndividuals with higher intelligence are often believed to be more aware of the health risks associated with smoking and more inclined to adopt healthier lifestyles. This study investigates the prevalence of smoking among high-IQ individuals in Indonesia, providing insights that could inform targeted health interventions.
methodsThis is a cross-sectional study conducted in a population with high IQ. An online-based survey form was distributed to all active members of the Mensa high-IQ society in Indonesia over a three-month period (October to December 2024). The survey form collected sociodemographic data and queried participants about their smoking status and related details. The primary outcome of interest was the smoking habits of the subjects.
resultsA total of 102 respondents aged ≥18 years participated in the study, which involved 73 men (71.6%) and 29 women (28.4%), with a mean age of 33.8 ± 10.2 years. The overall smoking prevalence among high-IQ individuals in Indonesia was 10.8%, with 12.3% of men and 6.9% of women currently smoking. Additionally, 9.8% were former smokers, leading to a total current or past smoking rate of 20.6%. This number is dramatically lower than the national smoking prevalence, which currently stands at around 40.3%. Although various sociodemographic factors were assessed, none showed a statistically significant association with smoking status in this population.
conclusionsThe prevalence of tobacco smoking among high-IQ individuals in Indonesia is 10.8% which is significantly lower than the national average. Although no statistically significant associations were found between sociodemographic variables and smoking status, smokers tended to have a family member who smoked, and individuals with higher annual incomes were less likely to smoke.
