Title: Religiosity, smoking and other addictive behaviours
Abstract: Under communism, identity-providing religion was suppressed, but
	 today religiosity is strong even among the youth in post-communist
	 countries. This provides an appropriate background to investigate how
	 external and internal religiosity relates to addictive behaviours like
	 smoking, drinking and drugs among the young. This study shows that not
	 religion as such or internal religiosity, but largely observable
	 (external) religiosity prevents them from wallowing in those vices. 
Classification-JEL: I12, N34, Z12
Keywords: addictive behaviour, Orthodox, external and internal religiosity,
