    Abstract:
    The rate of cigarettes' consumption in the world is regularly decreasing, although it remains high. In spite of the fashion for non-smoking, younger and younger people start to smoke. It is important that health related major students' behaviour is a social example. The aim of this study was to determine the number of smokers among public health major students at Medical University of Białystok, and to present the influence of socio-demographic features of respondents on their behaviour related to smoking. The results showed that among the examined students the prevalence of smoking was high--almost one-third of respondents smoked. The prevalence of smoking was significantly higher in men than in women students.
