Introduction: Chronic diseases are developed by a set of risk factors that in many cases can be prevented. These factors include tobacco consumption and low intake of fruits and vegetables. Methods: Analytical cross-sectional study carried out at a private university in Lima, during the first academic semester in 2018. The population studied comprised universitity students from 18 to 26 years old. Results: 233 students were surveyed, of whom only 215 met the characteristics of the population of interest, 101 (47%) women and 114 (53%) men. The mean age of the respondents was 21.37 years. In the respondents, 19% (n = 41) had never used tobacco, 16% (n = 35) had not used in the last month, 38% (n = 81) were occasional smokers and 27% (n = 58) they are daily smokers. The surveyed students who have an adequate consumption of fruits and vegetables represent 7.44% (n = 16). An association was found between smoking and the consumption of fruits and vegetables (p value = 0.0001), and, when observing the average consumption of portions of fruits and vegetables per day for each category of smoking, it was evidenced that, the higher the consumption of tobacco, the lower the consumption of fruits and vegetables. Conclusion: In our study, a relationship was found between smoking and the consumption of fruits and vegetables, but it is important to note the high percentages of risk factors for tobacco use and low intake of fruits and vegetables in the study population.
