Abstract

The aim of our study was the evaluation of tobacco smoking among students of VI year of Medical University of Gdańsk. Anonymous questionnaire was done among one hundred and ten students including 70 women and 40 men in the age from 23 to 29 (24.82 +/- 1.03) years.

Conclusions: 1. There were 12.7% of daily smoking students including 8.6% women and 15% men. 2. Almost 79% volunteers ineffectively attempted to give up smoking within last year. 3. The smoking students abused alcohol (with high likelihood) and used recreational drugs twice more than nonsmoking colleagues. 4. Almost all volunteers (96.4%) want to use smoking cessation intervention in their patients. 5. Above 75% students declared to broaden their knowledge about diagnostic and smoking cessation therapy.
