Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) is a condition of obstruction/narrowing of the upper airway during sleep, which results in cessation of breathing for some time. OSA can be experienced in all age groups, and as many as 56% reported having symptoms of excessive daytime sleepiness (EDS). Smoking can cause abnormal changes in the upper respiratory tract, both histologically and physiologically. Several mechanisms have been hypothesized to explain how smoking increases the risk of developing OSA. This study aimed to determine the relationship between smoking and OSA in law faculty students at the Indonesian Christian University Class of 2018-2021. The method used in this research is analytic observational with a cross-sectional study design. The sampling technique used simple random sampling of 94 respondents. The primary data was obtained using the ESS questionnaire and smoking history, and then the data were analyzed using the Chi-Square statistical test. Statistical test results obtained p value = 0.214. There is no relationship between smoking and OSA in law faculty students at the Indonesian Christian University class 2018-2021, which is the conclusion of this study.
