Tri su velika javnozdravstvena problema čije se negativne posljedice odražavaju posebno na adolescentima; pušenje, pijenje alkoholnih pića i drogiranje. Odnedavno su i stručni suradnici u školskim povjerenstvima za borbu protiv pušenja, kojima je jedna od osnovnih i prvih zadaća pratiti pojavnost pušenja u školama. Kako je pušenje kod mladih često povezano s ostalim rizičnim ponašanjima, opravdano je istovremeno s prikupljanjem podataka o pušenju, prikupiti podatke i o ostalim navedenim rizičnim ponašanjima mladih.There are three big public health problems, the negative consequences of which have an impact on adolescents, i.e. smoking, drinking, and drug-taking.
