Abstract
The usage of psychoactive substances can be related to a vast percentage of teenage population. Smoking cigarettes, drinking alcohol or taking drugs during the stage of growth and development can lead to detrimental health effect and, frequently, to serious addictions. The aim of this paper was the evaluation of the spreading frequency of mentioned habits among the high school students. The precise analysis of causes of these pathological phenomena, as well as elaboration and actual usage of broad-scale educational and prophylactic programs seem indispensable.
