Sažetak

The questionaire taken in 1996 comprised 6149 students from the 8th grade of primary schools and all secondary schools in Bjelovar, Čazma, Garešnica, Daruvar and Grubišno Polje. The results, based on correctly fiiled-in questionaires, showed that 56.8% of female and 56.0% of male students examined did not smoke tobacco when the questionaire was taken. In the 8th grade of primary schools 73.0% of girls and 65.0% of boys did not smoke. However, the percentage of nonsmokers in the 4th grade of secondary schools has dropped to 44.7% of girls and 57.0% of boys. The percentage of regular male tobacco smokers increased from 2.0% in the 8th grade of primary school to 15.7% in the 4th grade of secondary schools. A highly disturbing fact is that the female part of school children has developed smoking habits very similar to the smoking habits of the male part. It may have a bad effect on the raising of future generations. The results of the study point out the necessity of conducting health education more intensively and more qualitatively. The study includes the types and forms of health education, conducting of which would, in our opinion, result in positive changes of smoking habits of children and youth.
