title: [Smoking among employees of the Health Center of Novo Sarajevo].
abstract: The survey carried out among 174 employees of the Health center Novo Sarajevo, resulted that smoking is a health problem with which BiH is confronted. The survey among the employees was carried out anonymously in regards to smoking habits, information, attitude and behavior of smokers. Out of 174 persons employed with the Health center there were 84 (48.3%) current smokers, 24 (13.8%) ex-smokers and 66 (37.9%) non smokers. The highest number of smokers was found among heavy smokers (meaning 15 cigarettes per day) compared to light smoker 12 (13.1%) (meaning 9 cigarettes per day), (p < 0.01). Results of survey among smokers showed that knowledge and information about smoking were insufficient, so their attitude about smoking as a health problem was not adequate. The inquiry showed that level of information about smoking has to be larger and that only correct and insufficient informations might change the behaviour of smokers.
