Abstract

The work covers the present-day problems of nicotine addiction and the identification of the factors underlying its spread among young people and also the development of prophylactic measures aimed at the prevention against smoking in the young generation. The results of the study made it possible to detect risk youth groups by the formation of addictive behaviors on tobacco use, to establish a cause-effect relationship between smoking, development of respiratory and gastro-intestinal pathology, and the indicators of physical development. We have developed an algorithm to give a complex analysis addictive behavior of students at the stage of prenosological diagnosis. The above mentioned method can be used in public care institutions to conduct routine inspections of the population, in the individual assessment of behavioral characteristics, and also to assess the effectiveness of health-improving and medical interventions.
