[Cigarette smoking: a main preventable cause of death. The main public health problem of our times].
Cigarette smoking is one of the most important factors endangering the health and life of modern man. Unfortunately the statistics in recent years showed that Poland is now among the countries with the highest consumption of cigarettes in the world. According to the data reported in 1982 by the Polish Anti-tobacco Association our population consists in a great part of habitual smokers, since about 12 million people are smoking cigarettes (over 60% of men and 30% of women). Another diquieting fact is the continuous rise of the proportion of heavy smokers, who smoke over 20 cigarettes daily, which increases many times the health risk.
