Methods: The research was conceived from a quantitative approach with a descriptive ex post facto design. The sample was composed by 1377 university students. It was used the questionnaire of risk perception of tobacco consumption. In the data analysis the authors used univariate descriptive analysis, two step cluster analysis, categorical principal components analysis and the decision trees.
Results: It was identified as tendency, adequate levels of information about consequences of this risk behavior. The higher variations were in the behavioralmotivational dimension and it was the best predictor in the grouping process according to levels of risk perception.
