In the Kyushu Sangyo University students, from 2003 to 2024, we analyzed annual changes in smoking and drinking habits, influences of family members on the smoking and drinking habits, and whether smoking and drinking habits coexist on same student. Both rate of smoking habits and drinking habits decreased as a whole. The smoking rate of freshmen evidently decreased from 2006. On the other hand, the decrease in the drinking rate of seniors are not obvious until 2012 or 2013. In the women both smoking and drinking rates transiently increased in 2020. The influences of family members were evident (p<0.001) and smoking and drinking habits of both parents and other members influenced on the student’s behaviors. The coexistence of smoking habits and drinking habits was also evident (p<0.001). Almost everyday drinkers tend to be heavy drinkers (p<0.001), actual number of heavy drinkers was the most in the occasional drinkers.
