Αν και έχει περάσει τουλάχιστον μισός αιώνας από την πρώτη επιστημονική έρευνα που καταδείκνυε τις πιθανές επιπτώσεις του καπνίσματος στην υγεία και ενώ πλέον έχουν διερευνηθεί και διαπιστωθεί από την παγκόσμια επιστημονική κοινότητα, σε μεγάλο βαθμό, οι συνέπειες αυτών τόσο στον ενεργό όσο και στον παθητικό καπνιστή, ο αριθμός των καπνιστών παγκοσμίως αυξάνεται αντί να μειώνεται. Τα οικονομικά μεγέθη της καπνοβιομηχανίας, τα αίτια έναρξης του καπνίσματος και το οικονομικό κόστος που αυτό επιφέρει, οι μέθοδοι πρόληψης και διακοπής του καπνίσματος καθώς και η ανάλυση κόστους – αποτελέσματος αυτών των μεθόδων είναι μερικά από τα θέματα που θα μας απασχολήσουν στην παρούσα εργασία. / It has been at least half a century from the first scientific research that showed the likely repercussions of smoking in health and even it has been investigated and realised by the world scientific community, to a large extent, the consequences of smoking in the active and passive smoker, the number of smokers worldwide is increasing instead of decreasing. The economic sizes of tobacco industry, the reasons why people start smoking and the economic cost that this involves, the methods of prevention and interruption of smoking as well as the cost – effectiveness analysis of these methods are some of the topics that will occupy us in the present research.

Tobacco rattle virus (TRY) and trichodorid vector nematodes were found to be widespread in bulb growing areas in The Netherlands. Indications, obtained from pot bait tests, that associations between serotypes of tobacco rattle virus and Paratrichodorus and Trichodorus vector species occurred were confirmed in bait tests using individual trichodorid nematodes. Whereas different Paratrichodorus vector species each transmitted a serologically distinct TRV-isolate, different Trichodorus vector species transmitted serologically indistinguishable TRV-isolates. It remains to be studied whether a particular Trichodorus species is able to transmit all isolates serologically indistinguishable from the one with which it was naturally associated. A TRV-isolate transmitted by T. cylindricus from Scryne, Scotland and isolates transmitted by P. teres from Julianadorp, The Netherlands were considered anomalous TRV-isolates as they serologically resembled pea early-browning virus but had RNA-1 sequences typical of TRV. Virus-free P. pachydermus from Scotland and from The Netherlands acquired and subsequently transmitted TRV-isolates originally obtained from bait-plants infected by P. pachydermus from Scotland or The Netherlands. They failed to transmit a serologically similar isolate obtained from an infected potato tuber. Virus-free P. pachydermus did not acquire and transmit a pseudorecombinant TRV-isolate with the RNA-2 from a non-transmissible isolate, but efficiently transmitted a pseudorecombinant isolate in which the RNA-2 was derived from a efficiently transmitted isolate. This indicated that transmissibility is most likely determined by the virus coat-protein. Transgenic tobacco plants, expressing TRV coat-protein were resistant to mechanical inoculation but susceptible to nematode transmission of the virus. A possible low level of coat-protein expression in the roots could not fully explain this result as the nematodes also transmitted TRV directly to detached leaves of such transgenic plants.
