title: [Tobacco and health in the teaching of nature and biology].
abstract: The author discusses instruction on the harmfulness of smoking tobacco in the Polish educational system. This concerns primarily two subjects, Nature and Biology, in which this issue appears. In this context, he examined the content of their syllabi, manuals, and teacher's guides. He presents the most common didactic solutions employed, and comes to the conclusion that this field lacks original studies and novel proposals. On his part, he puts forward some suggestions concerning the kind and scope of measures that can be taken at various educational levels. He also stresses the need for parallel and continuous social and administrative action.
