Smoking - The Current Treatment Possibilities of Nicotine Addiction
CHYTILOVÁ, Monika
In comparison with other countries the Czech Republic has a relatively high prevalence of tobacco smoking. What is alarming is the growing number of 15-year-olds who smoke at least one cigarette a week. While in 1997 to 1998 this comprised 22% of boys and 18 % of girls, in 2001 to 2002 this figure had increased to almost 29% of boys and 31% of girls. Around 30 % of adults in this country are smokers, yet 70 % of these, i.e. around one and a half people, want to quit. Very few of them are successful without adequate therapy. This is also the reason why in 2008 a total of six tobacco addiction treatment centres were established.So far we have no accurate economic data relating to the costs of treating smoking and other health complications which result from smoking. There is, however, no reason to assume that these figures would be particularly different from those for other European countries. Some health insurance companies are aware of the high costs of treating smoking-related illnesses and are actively providing financial and non-financial support to those wishing to quit.The aim of this bachelor{\crq}s thesis was to determine how well-informed the population is as regards the options for treating nicotine addiction; also to map out the most common reasons that lead smokers to quit. In this work I have used the anonymous questionnaire technique to investigate this issue. A total of 100 people over the age of 15 were questioned. Hypothesis 1 assumes that the majority of the population knows about at least one way of treating nicotine addiction. Hypothesis 2 assumes that the majority of the population, if they smoke or if they were to smoke, would first seek expert advice from their GP. Hypothesis 3 assumes that the most important motive for stopping smoking is to save money.This work can be used as the basis for further bachelor{\crq}s or diploma theses on a similar topic, or to supplement courses at ZSF JU University in České Budějovice.

The problems of smoking and drinking of children of school age (12-15 years)
VOHLÍDALOVÁ, Petra
The thesis consists of two parts {--} theoretical and practical. The theoretical part describes the history of alcohol and tobacco, their composition and influence on a young organism, and the current situation. It also refers to prevention and valid legal regulations in this field. The objectives of the practical part are to confirm or reject the hypotheses set beforehand. I decided to use the questionnaire method as the research technique. I handed out 281 questionnaires to the primary school pupils in Ševětín and in Dukelská Street in České Budějovice. The respondents were pupils attending the 7th, 8th and 9th grades. The rate of return was 100%. In my thesis I monitor the attitude of today´s children to smoking and drinking alcohol, their knowledge in this respect and the range of preventive measures. I suppose that the results of my thesis will be useful in introducing preventive measures in primary schools.

This baccalaureate thesis tries to grasp the ingoing wave of nonsmoking restaurants and similar nonsmoking entities in Prague. It aims to find the possibility of nonsmoking enterprise to profit on common market and its attraction of customers. On the other hand this thesis deals with the potentiality of lessening of customers and profits of nonsmoking restaurants, pubs and bars after introduction of smoking prohibiting laws and rules. These data are obtained from questionnaires. The theoretical part focuses on polemic about the necessity of state regulation, especially in the area of protection of nonsmokers in restaurants. Further it deals with the importance of customer with his relationship to the restaurant and state. This work tries to solve the question if the state does not derogate too much the ownership rights in his battle against smoking and if the health issue in this context is not inferior.

Market regulation as an example of smoking ban at public places in European Union
Štemberová, Daniela ; Ševčík, Miroslav (advisor) ; Nováček, Jan (referee)
Bakalářská práce si klade jako hlavní cíl analyzovat aktuální opatření některých členských zemí Evropské unie, které se rozhodly zakázat kouření ve veřejných prostorách, a to především v restauracích a barech, a zjistit, zda je omezení dostupnosti tabáku efektivním prostředkem regulace tabáku. Dále práce definuje, zda tyto vládní opatření mají vliv na poptávku po tabáku v jednotlivých členských zemích a jestli regulace napomáhá k omezení spotřeby tabáku (z hlediska přírůstku nových kuřáků a úbytku počtu stávajících kuřáků). V teoretické části se práce zaměří na ty aspekty ekonomické regulace, které se uplatňují ve zkoumané strategii tabákové politiky. Práce dále ukáže, za jakých okolností tyto nástroje regulace vznikaly a jak byly přijaty veřejností. Zaměří se také na to, zda se Evropská unie snaží nějakým způsobem tabákovou politiku ovlivňovat a zda se jí snaží sjednotit, čímž poukazuje na budoucí trendy v regulaci.

Naklady zdravotnickeho systemu na nemoci zpusobene kourenim
Dolejší, Gabriela ; Běláčková, Vendula (advisor) ; Vebrová, Ludmila (referee)
Práce se zabývá nákladovou stranou zdravotnického systému nemocí přiřaditelných kouření. Předmětem zájmu práce je analýza metodiky ?cost of illness?(COI), jež vyjadřuje ekonomické náklady nemoci či diagnostických skupin nemocí spojených s kouřením a odhaduje maximální částku, která by mohla být potencionálně ušetřena, pokud by byla prevalence kuřáctví ve společnosti nulová. Dokladem nákladovosti nemocí způsobených kouřením jsou příklady zahraničních studií zabývajících se metodikou COI. Empirická část práce přináší komparaci metodik a výsledků zahraničních studií se zjištěními výsledky nákladů nemocničního léčení chorob způsobených užíváním tabáku v ČR. Cílem práce je srovnat výsledky zahraničních studií se studií nákladovosti nemocí způsobených kouřením v České republice.
