Abstract

Among environmental factors influencing unfolding of acute coronary events among youngsters, tobacco smoking, a habit acquired at early ages, and illicit drug addiction, stand out.

Planning strategies to reduce the impact of these injurious habits among young people should be considered by the organized and conscious society.
