Nicotinism as a predisposition to the use of illegal addictive substances Bachelor Dissertation Abstract The goal of my Bachelor Dissertation is to map out and analyze how tobacco products and other addictive substances are used, to determine the dependence between the use of nicotine and other addictive substances and to identify the risk factors which lead to the use of these substances in the population of basic school pupils. In the theoretical part I address the concept of tobacco, its composition, dependence and the consequences of its use. I then describe the term drug addiction, its origin, development and stages. In the conclusion I characterise the period of adolescence and the risk factors and differences concerning addictive substances which are connected with it. To meet the set goals, quantitative research was chosen, a method of questioning, using anonymous questionnaires, which were employed to define pupils' experience with tobacco and other addictive drugs. Data was collected from the 9th years of basic shools and from the corresponding years of 8-year grammar schools. For the research, two assumed hypotheses were designated and opened. Hypothesis 1: The users of tobacco products have more extensive experience with illegal addictive substances than non-users of tobacco products. This hypothesis was verified. Hypothesis 2: Girls use more tobacco products than boys. This hypothesis was also verified. The results of my Bachelor Dissertation can be used for educational purposes, as part of preventive activity in educational institutions and for making this more effective, for further research and also as material for improving awareness of this issue.
