Objectives More and more countries introduce a total ban on smoking tobacco in public places. The aim of this work was to evaluate the effectiveness of “The Act of 8 April 2010 on amendment of the act on protection of health against the consequences of consumption of tobacco and tobacco products and act on National Sanitary Inspectorate” and assess the frequency of complying with the smoking bans by the students of the Medical University of Lodz, Poland. Material and Methods Between 2007–2011, at the Social Medicine Institute of the Medical University of Lodz, a study using random survey was carried out involving students who were starting their studies at the Health Department of the Medical University of Lodz. The analysis of the collected material showed that 1038 people reported being smokers at the time of the study. Among that group, 530 students were included in the study prior to, and 508 after the introduction of the amendment. In order to verify their compliance with the smoking ban, the respondents were asked whether they smoked only in designated areas or wherever they wanted to. Results The ratio of people claiming they smoked anywhere they wanted to, disregarding the smoking ban, was 60% (N = 318) and after the amendment had been introduced, this ratio was 62.2% (N = 316), it increased by 2.2 percentage points. The observed difference was statistically irrelevant (Chi² = 0.530, p > 0.05). Conclusions The Act ”On amendment of the act on protection of health against the consequences of consumption of tobacco and tobacco products and Act on National Sanitary Inspectorate” in Poland did not result in the expected changes in the frequency of complying with the smoking ban by the 1st year students.

W XVIII w. nałóg palenia tytoniu był powszechny we wszystkich kręgach społeczeństwa. Zwyczaj palenia tytoniu w towarzystwie był również notowany na kartach ksiąg miejskich z okresu staropolskiego. Kilka zapisów z księgi miejskiej Uniejowa z 1763 r. dotyczy sporu o fajkę z tytoniem. W domu jednego z mieszczan zebrało się wówczas grono znajomych z lokalnej elity. Znajdujący się w nim burmistrz Uniejowa wypalił pożyczoną od kupca ze Zdun fajkę z tytoniem. Kupiec zażądał zwrotu tytoniu, a na ofertę zapłaty za tytoń pieniędzmi zareagował lekceważąco. W efekcie poirytowany burmistrz uderzył kupca w twarz. Doszło do rękoczynów, burmistrz i kupiec odnieśli szereg ran oraz potłuczeń na ciele. Impulsywny burmistrz zastał skazany za zainicjowanie bójki na okres tygodnia pozbawienia wolności. Swego rodzaju scenka rodzajowa zapisana na kartach księgi wójtowsko-ławniczej wiele mówi o ówczesnej mentalności, tj. popędliwości krewkich mieszczan w sposobie rozwiązywania nawet takich drobnych nieporozumień.

Smoking tobacco was very popular in the 18th century among all social groups. The custom of smoking in company was also noted in municipal books from the Old Polish period. Several entries in municipal records from the year 1763 address a dispute over a pipe with tobacco. A group of representatives of local elite gathered in a house of one of the burghers. The mayor of Uniejów smoked a pipe borrowed from a merchant of Zduńska Wola. The merchant demanded that he return the tobacco, and disrespectfully dismissed the offer to pay for the tobacco, whereupon the irritated mayor slapped him on the face. A fight ensued, in which both of them sustained numerous wounds and bruises. The mayor was sentenced to a week’s imprisonment. This scene reflects the mentality of those times, i.e. impulsiveness of hot-tempered burghers in resolving even such minor disputes.
