Electronic Cigarette
Brím, Lukáš ; Šteffan, Pavel (referee) ; Junasová, Veronika (advisor)
This bachelor thesis focuses on the design of an electronic cigarette. The thesis describes the parts that make up an electronic cigarette. The whole device is powered by a battery cell that can be charged in the device via a USB connector. The designed device works on the principle of heating a resistive wire in the form of a spiral. The whole device is controlled by a microcontroller, which makes it possible to control the different modes of operation. The device can operate in three modes namely bypass mode, temperature control mode and watt mode. The setting of the modes is done using tactile switches and then the set power or temperature is displayed on the display.

Electronic cigarettes and public view
Škaryd, Jan ; Zmrzlá, Petra (referee) ; Mihai, Hana (advisor)
This work is focused on both smokers of electronic and conventional cigarettes. The purpose of this work is to introduce and describe an electronic cigarette, its parts and compare its harmfulness with conventional cigarettes, especially in the current situation when smoking is not so fashionable in public. Based on the findings, it is noticeable that electronic cigarettes are trying to consolidate their position on the market on the one hand for a relatively short time, but on the other, successfully.

Effect of Nicotine Products´ Usage on Human Health.
DLOUHÝ, Aleš
This bachelor thesis deals with products that contain nicotine with a focus on electronic cigarettes. The aim of the work was to find out whether there are changes in the behavior and level of their use during the transition of users from classic tobacco products to electronic cigarettes. The work is divided into two parts. The theoretical part deals with the general history of tobacco. Furthermore, individual types of tobacco products are characterized here, especially products heating tobacco. This chapter is followed by a section on the treatment of nicotine addiction, including nicotine replacement therapy and pharmacological treatment. Much of the work is devoted to electronic cigarettes, their development, the principle of operation, division and fill into them. The end of the theoretical part focuses additive components, addiction its division and withdrawal symptoms. The last chapter deals with nicotine. It characterizes its chemical-physical properties and describes its effect on the human body. The aim of the second practical part of the work was based on a questionnaire, which contained 21 questions, the collection of answers and their evaluation. The questionnaire was completed by users of electronic cigarettes who had experience with tobacco products. A total of 435 respondents took part in the questionnaire survey. The results of the questionnaire survey were evaluated using the implemented tools of the Survio questionnaire platform, while important results were displayed graphically. The results of the research show that the behavior of electronic cigarettes is changing behavior and increasing the frequency of use compared to conventional cigarettes. This in turn causes a deepening of nicotine addiction. The practical benefit of this work should primarily consist in a comprehensive overview of all aspects that play a role in the transition of users to electronic cigarettes. Furthermore, it could be used as a basis for designing solutions that would facilitate the transition to electronic cigarettes and reduce the risk of increased nicotine dependence.

Harm reduction and tobacco smoking
Remešová, Renáta ; Králíková, Eva (advisor) ; Pánková, Alexandra (referee)
The main goal of this work was to investigate behavior and attitude of Czech smokers towards e-cigarettes, smokeless tobacco and reduction of number of cigarettes by means of questionnaire inquiry. These Harm Reduction methods are favorable for smokers who at present are not able or willing to quit smoking as prevalence of smoking and mortality resulting from diseases connected to smoking are high. Theoretical part concerns basic notions and terminology of tobacco, epidemiology of tobacco usage, legislative measures and above all the less risky alternatives of tobacco usage together with their most current research. Practical part firstly describes methods of data collection and analysis coming from quantitative research based on questionnaires as well as results of the analysis. Target group were smokers aged 15 and more, living in the area of Czech Republic. Total amount of respondents was 302. Data were collected through internet portal vyplnto.cz as and personally by questioning random people and firms in Prague and then processed through statistical program R and Microsoft Excel. Methods are those of descriptive statistics. The first part of results introduces prevalence data which are almost identical to those of Český zdravotní ústav (2012). Then several pairs of variables were chosen and...
