The illness which they related most closely to tobacco addiction was lung cancer (97.9%). The risk increment in complications during pregnancy in the are agree in the bigest percentage (74.5%). The 15.4% related the slogan "Tobacco or health, decide" with the who. The 62.7% of students recognize the sanitary professionals have an important influence in the people addicion.
