Summary/Abstract: Health is the most precious wealth. Without healthy individuals there is no healthy society and vice versa. That is why we should care about both. Health education, together with physical education is one of the areas (or components) which contribute to formation of a harmonious, versatile personality and as such should be a concern of all teachers within the possibility offered by the contents of their subjects. Spending their childhood at school and outside school, watching adults in media or in real life, may lead a certain number of children to adopt negative habits. The fact that drug addiction, alcoholism and smoking among the pupils at school are present in all places, even at an early age, certainly requires our attention. Children have right to a happy childhood and development. This should not be just a verbal commitment. There should be a well-planned and coordinated action of parents, school and state authorities responsible for safety and other activities, in order to prevent the use of drugs, alcohol drinking and smoking thus preventing addiction among children at primary and secondary schools.
