International Classification of Diseases (ICD) declared nicotine addiction as an illness. Statistics confirm that fifty per cent (50%) of long standing smokers, half of them efficient to work die due to tobacco smoking. Tobacco use is a main risk factor that brings lung cancer, has serious consequences on the respiratory system and cardiac-vessel system. Local news in Poland represent that statistics show there are thirty-four per cent male and twenty-two female smokers now. An annual expense for treatment for tobacco smokers reaches eighteen million zlotys in Poland. This can possibly escalate to one hundred ninety-eight (198) billion zlotys for the next twenty years unless we do something about the dangerous habit. The sooner Poland starts to use the efficient methods against use of nicotine so to decrease the number of smokers, the lower death level would become and less the expense for treatment.
