Abstract		Background. The aim of the study was to correlate male smoking habits with the lung cancer incidence trend in Slovenia in the years 1965-94 in order to verify our recent prediction of its further decline till the year 2009. Methods. The sources of data was the Archive of the Slovenian Public Opinion Surveys (the answers of 2,951 men to a questionnaire) and the Cancer Registry of Slovenia (data on 17,155 lung cancer patients). For our analysis, the SPSS and GLIM programs were used. Results. The results confirm our prediction of a furter decline of the male lung cancer incidence in Slovenia. Two male generation on which smoking prevailed the most are those born between 1920 and 1935 and between 1950 and 1960. The percentage of non-smokers in these two generations was the smallest, while percentages of the long time smokers (more than 20 years) and heavy smokers (more than 20 cigarettes a day) were the highest. On the other hand, in younger generations, born around 1975, percentage of non-smokers is higher, however the smokers started smoking earlier, at 16 years of age, on average. Conclusions. Anti-smoking campaigns in Slovenia have had obviously beneficial effects. However, actions among boys to devert them from starting smoking as well as programs helping adult smokers to quit smoking are still needed.
Summary		Izhodišča. Namen študije je bil primerjati kadilske navade moških z rezultati podrobne analize trenda incidence pljučnega raka v Sloveniji v letih 1965-1994 in s tem preveriti izsledke napovedi, da bo incidenca pljučnega raka pri moških do leta 2009 upadala. Metode. Gradivo so bili podatki Arhiva družboslovnih podatkov Fakultete za družbene vede v Ljubljani (2951 izprašanih moških) in Registra raka za Slovenijo (17.155 bolnikov s pljučnim rakom). Za obdelavo smo uporabili programska paketa SPSS in GLIM. Rezultati. Izsledki potrjujejo napoved upadanja incidence pljučnega raka pri moških v Sloveniji. S kajenjem najbolj obremenjeni moški so tisti, ki so bili rojeni med leti 1920 do 1935, in tisti, ki so bili rojeni med leti 1950 do 1960. Med njimi je bilo najmanj nekadilcev, velik odstotek je kadil več kot 20 let, velik odstotek je kadil več kot 20 cigaret dnevno. Odstotek nekadilcev med mlajšimi generacijami (do rojenih okoli leta 1975) je sicer večji in število pokajenih cigaret manjše, vendar so tisti, ki kadijo pričeli s kajenjem mlajši (v povprečju stari 16 let). Zaključki. Učinek programov za zdravo življenje v Sloveniji se potrjuje, še vedno pa so potrebne usmerjene akcije za zmanjšanje števila odraščajočih fantov, ki začno kaditi, in programi za opuščanje kajenja odraslih.
