WHO-CINDI Programme in 1991–2007 AB - This article is a report from comparison surveys, carried out in connection with WHO-CINDI Programme during the years 1991–2007. The analysis was based on random sampling tests concerning big Polish cities’ inhabitants, all in all almost 11.5 thousand respondents. Taking everything into consideration, it has been established, that:1. Regular smoking frequency becomes smaller (the effect of implemented prophylactic programmes, a so-called ‘intervention variable’). 2. Still, propagation of environmental smoking is an alarming   phenomenon, however it is definitely improving. Despite the fact, that more and more respondents are living in a free-smoking zone, each 5-6 adult city inhabitant spends over 5 hours a day in a room full of smoke. 3. Within time passing, as a result of quitting an addiction, a belief concerning harmful smoking consequences grows. This tendency is not yet sufficiently justified. Becoming alarmed with the concerning phenomenon is definitely not enough when making an opinion in this matter VL - 2009 IS - Volume 7, Issue 2 PY - 2009 SN - 1731-7398 C1 - 2084-2627 SP - 29 EP - 35 UR - https://ejournals.eu/en/journal/zdrowie-publiczne-i-zarzadzanie/article/rozpowszechnienie-palenia-tytoniu-oraz-palenie-bierne-w-populacyjnych-badaniach-polskiego-programu-cindi-w-latach-1991-2007-analiza-porownawcza KW - regular and environmental tobacco smoke KW - WHO-CINDI Programme KW - questionnaire survey KW - comparative analysis
