The survey was conducted among 29540 students in different secondary schools. All interviewers were 17.42 +/- 1.14 years old. The aim od this work was to define the relation between smoking adolescent and their health. The group of smokers consisted of 5112 (60.26%) men and 3370 (33.70%) women. The main causes of initiating smoking reported by respondents included curiosity--(47.91%) followed by stress (39.82%) and alcohol (6.77%). Smoking tobacco by parents at home results in inspiring by their children the unwholesome ingredients of tobacco smoke. Frequent staying among tobacco smokers significantly influences decision of starting or giving up smoking tobacco (59.24%). The obtain results may be helpful in preparing effective educational and preventive project among students, which can eliminate or lower the influence of factors predisposing to start and continue smoking tobacco. Special programs should be worked out for children showing early health consequences of smoking cigarettes. Giving up smoking is possible for "young" smokers, if they have not developed the symptoms of addiction.

Excessive consumption of nicotine and alcohol has been proven to effect the organ system. Both stimulants are consumed in the population to a not insignificant extent. The question therefore arises as to what effect the consumption of nicotine and alcohol has on the complication rates and to what extent this should be reduced or stopped before performing a joint arthroplasty? A literature search was carried out to answer these questions.

Background -Smoking is associated with arrhythmia and sudden cardiac death, but the biological mechanisms remain unclear. In electrocardiogram (ECG) recordings abnormal durations of ventricular repolarization (QT interval), atrial depolarization (P wave), and atrioventricular depolarization (PR interval and segment), predict cardiac arrhythmia and mortality. Previous analyses of the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) database for associations between smoking and ECG abnormalities were incomplete.
