Summary

As it is evident from the present study, habit formers are not a problem of the majority of university students. However, a certain part of students have their own experience with soft drugs and only a minority of students have experience even with hard drugs, which is not, however, an alarming state. It can be concluded that university students are not the most threatened group in this sense⁵. According to the comparison of the development of the collection, most students already come to the university with their own experience with habit formers and only a smaller part of respondents examine drugs while studying at the university.
