THE ROLE OF THE FAMILY AS RELATED TO HARMFUL BEHAVIOR

Abstract

Extensive literature proves that family education and parents greatly influence the individual’s everyday habit in every field of life, especially on their decision-making process. The results of this paper on addiction confirms that that parents’ bad habits directly impacts their children’s attitude towards excise goods (like tobacco, alcohol) and also their health behaviour. The vast majority of survey respondents claimed that they want to live a healthier lifestyle, however, they cannot break bad, imprinted habits and change their behaviour.
