Sažetak
Smoking is a gained habit with which one starts experimenting at the age of 10, and it usually becomes part of the habit at age of 20. It is the combination of narcotic addiction and deep- seated smoking habits. Nicotine is the main cause of smoking addiction, and the custom of preparation for smoking itself and smell of cigarettes create addictive behavior among smokers. Today nicotine is socially most widely accepted legal drug in the world, and its uptake into the organism through the respiratory tract is ten times stronger than heroin. Addiction and necessity for cigarettes are constant and intense, and the treatment of smoking addicts is long and difficult. Smoking is a world-wide epidemic, which is closely connected to other addictions such as coffee, alcohol, drugs, and gambling.
