Lundák, Martin ; Šedivý, Ivan (advisor) ; Randák, Jan (referee)
The topic of smoking in the 20th century wasn't properly researched yet, especially in Czech Republic. Publications that would take into account any influences like army environment, propaganda, advertisement and other, are basically non-existent. This thesis is aimed to cover at least a part of this neglected phenomenon in a given period of time. It pursues mostly the relationship between smoking and the state or society, with special attention to conflicts and soldiers in general. The research of archive sources, medical statistics, legislation or regulations is combined with the testimony of sources of a personal nature, photographs and preserved visual materials. It will also be supplemented by findings from the fields of medicine, sociology and psychology. Keywords war; tobacco; cigarettes; smoking; army; society; 20th century

Lundák, Martin ; Šedivý, Ivan (advisor) ; Michela, Miroslav (referee)
7 Abstract The theme of smoking and tobacco products in the First World War was so far only marginally reflected in the Czech Republic. This thesis is aimed to at least partially cover the up to now neglected topic. It pursues the habit of smoking, which is largely associated with soldiers, as it entered the mainstream society with culmination of this process during the period of First World War. It also covers the experience of war and the relationship of smoking to soldiers, along with its use in advertisement and propaganda. Examining the sources of personal nature with both domestic and foreign origin joins with the study of visual sources in combination with knowledge of the fields of medicine, psychology and sociology.
