Introduction: Adolescence is the period between puberty and adulthood. Tobacco and alcohol abuse is a very serious and serious problem, both in Croatia and in countries around the world where epidemic proportions sometimes occur, especially in the younger population. Young people during adolescence have a great need to experience acceptance by society and see alcohol consumption as an opportunity for their peer group to admire. The most important factor in starting the habit of consuming cigarettes is the influence of the group, peers, parents and older siblings or brothers.
Aim: The aim of this study is to examine the habits of adolescent addictive behavior and to determine whether there are differences in risky behavior depending on the sex of the examinees.
