Bezbedan i zdrav život studenata bez duvanskog dima
Safe And Healthy Life Of Students Without Tobacco Smoke

Summary/Abstract: The World Health Organization has characterized smoking as the leading cause of mortality in the world, since it represents the most common reason for the occurrence of cardiovascular and pulmonary diseases, stroke, or cancer, and may re-sult in death or invalidity. In spite of constant efforts to prevent smoking and the es-sentially universally developed awareness of the harmful effects of tobacco, the per-centage of smokers among the young population is still very high in many countries. Serbia is a nation with the widespread smoking habit that, in terms of cigarette consumption, ranks very high in Europe. A high percentage of smokers among students indicates a need to implement organized and controlled primary preventive measures. Our research was conducted with the intent to establish the prevalence of smoking among the students of the Faculty of Sport and Physical Education, University of Novi Sad, as well as the smokers’ habits and their readiness to undergo a smoking cessation program and break their smoking habit. Likewise, we were interested in learning whether the non-smoking population think that the indoor smoking ban will result in changes of the smoking habits, and we intended to determine the opinion of non-smokers in terms of the implementation of smoking ban control by authorized bodies
