    Background. The aim of the study was to correlate male smoking habits with thelung 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 and1935 and between 1950 and 1960. The percentage of non-smokers in these two generations was the smallest, while percentages of the long time smokers (morethan 20 years) and heavy smokers (more than 20 cigarettes a day) were thehighest. 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 boysto devert them from starting smoking as well as programs helping adult smokers to quit smoking are still needed.
