    BACKGROUND: The association between smoking and the risk of developing diseases is unquestionable, showing highly harmful effects on health, which is the biggest risk factor described in the literature able to cause such high rates of morbidity and mortality. In Brazil, the prevalence of smoking decreased significantly since 1993 until the present day, but the behavior of the young adults in relation to tobacco is worrying. The students are a population that presumably would have insider information about the risks and damage from exposure to tobacco smoke. OBJECTIVE: Estimate the frequency of smoking among medical students in 2008, 2009 and 2010 and the characteristics of this exposure. METHODS: Observational study with students from first to sixth grade of the Faculty of Medical and Health Sciences at PUC-SP, Campus Sorocaba, assessed in 2008, 2009 and 2010. There is overlaid with a cohort of the study population followed the same period. Used a self applicable questionnaire to assess smoking and Fagerström questionnaire to assess nicotine dependence. RESULTS: Of the 1337 students evaluated the prevalence of current smoking among students was 14.7% (2008) 17.0% (2009) and 14.4% in 2010, showing no significant variation throughout the study. The formal smoking was around 10% in 2008, 2009 and 2010, representing the main form of tobacco consumption observed. The smoking was higher among men. Nicotine addiction was very low and low, in current smokers. There was significant correlation between tobacco and alcohol consumption observed in 2010. In a cohort study of 141 students no significant diferences were observed in current and formal smokers, but significantly increased in ex-smokers. CONCLUSIONS: The prevalence of smoking among students of the Faculty of Medical and Health Sciences at PUC-SP is greater than that observed in the general population of the same age, the most frequent behavior observed was formal smoking. The behavior regarding tobacco consumption is shifting as we observed in the cohort, but there was a significant increase in the number of ex- smokers.

    Literature shows that there are significant associations between health and happiness. Various countries are considering, contemplating or formally incorporating the happiness variable into their public health policies. Moreover, the private sector has shown interest in the topic. Based on that This article examines the biases in the perception of satisfaction with life among young adults in two Brazilian cities. The study explores the associations between aspects of life and perception of happiness because public policies associated with happiness require an improved understanding of the subjectivity of the sense of well-being. A survey conducted among 368 college students enabled analysis through Multivariate Analysis of Covariance (MANCOVA) and linear regression. The results suggest that, although there were no significant differences in general satisfaction with life between the two cities, there were indications of focusing illusion in the perception of happiness caused by expectations arising from the feeling of personal insecurity in a metropolis.
