Sažetak

Tobacco use is the leading preventable cause of death, which is why a number of measures to reduce its use are carried out in the world. The purpose of this paper is to highlight the indicators related to the use of tobacco products in Croatia, as well as possible solutions within the framework of existing and proposed policies against tobacco. We have used data collected in the EU countries in 2016, according to which the prevalence of smoking in Croatia is among the highest in Europe. In order to reduce the prevalence of smoking and improve the health of its population, Croatia needs to strengthen and adopt additional policies on tobacco control.
