Anti-smoking policy in Poland in the context of Polish and foreign legal regulations: current status and proposed changes

Legal regulations regarding anti-smoking policy in Poland were analyzed in comparison to solutions adopted in other countries around the world. Based on the 2022 National Health Survey of Poles conducted by the Polish Oncological Society and a report from the Polish Academy of Sciences, the smoking rate was nearly 30%, 3 pp higher than in 2021. At the same time, alternative nicotine products are becoming increasingly popular. The authors reviewed available reports and scientific publications on this topic and proposed directions for legislative changes. The goal is to reduce the scale of smoking and nicotine addiction, so that in the long term, the percentage of smokers in Poland decreases to 5%. Med Pr Work Health Saf. 2025;76(5):407–416
