Mjerni je instrument (upitnik) oblikovan za ovo istraživanje u online obliku Google obrasca. Upitnik se sastoji odpitanja o obilježjima sudionika i od pitanja o pušenju istavovima prema pušenju. Rezultati: Statistički značajna razlika nije utvrđena između skupine pušača i nepušača na broju točno odgovorenih pitanja o znanju o pušenju. Najlošije znanje pokazali su iz znanja o teratogenim učincima duhanskog dima. Nepušači (njih 98%) i pušači (njih 91%) slažu se s tvrdnjom da zdravstveni djelatnici trebaju provoditi smjernice iz pušenja. Pozitivni stavovi pušača prema pušenju statistički su značajno veći od stavova nepušača. Zaključak: Sudionici istraživanja imaju znanje o štetnosti pušenja duhana i mišljenja su kako treba provoditi smjernice iz programa za prestanak pušenja. Stavovi prema pušenju područje je na kojem je potrebno staviti naglasak u provođenju prevencije pušenja jer stavovi opisuju spremnost na djelovanje.Introduction: Smoking is a behavioral factor, but in order to influence change in attitudes about smoking, the benefits of living without tobacco smoke should be emphasized.
