Abstract: The present paper aims to illustrate the main particularities of tobacco product consumption in the city of Resita, in a period of time when smoking has proven to be a very largely extensive habit. Even though the law has become more restrictive during the last two years, the limitations of smoking in public did not determine people to give up this vice, at a larger scale. The first part of the paper presents general aspects regarding smoking, as well as an analysis of statistical data reffering to the spendings in this field, while the second part consists in a study conducted on respondents in the city of Resita, with the purpose of determining their preferences and attitude towards smoking in general and tobacco products in particular. Based on recent considerations, there is also a relatively modest percentage of people who forecast a decrease in the number of smokers in the future, namely a market constraint. Thus, the business in this field has a great potential of development, even if the health of consumers is at great risk. The number of smokers is increasing, especially in developing countries and the underdeveloped ones, partly due to less education on the negative effects of tobacco use.
