As smoking is very much harmful for health so second hand smoking or passive smoking is also harmful but generally less concern is given on this fact. Our study purpose was to determine the knowledge, attitude and awareness level of university students regarding passive smoking and also assume the reasons behind smoking. A questionnaire was developed based on those facts we wanted to determine and the survey was done on both undergraduate and graduate students of different departments. A total 502 participants responded to the questionnaire. Majority (82%) of the participants have the basic knowledge about passive smoking. Almost (92%) participants considered passive smoking is harmful for their health. Majority (93%) stated that severe breathing problem can occur due to exposure to passive smoking and (78%) of participants believed that passive smoking can cause lung cancer. Significant percentages (90%) of participants have considered that strict law enforcement should be provided and proper knowledge should be provided to reduce the exposure of passive smoking. It can be concluded that knowledge level of the target population was satisfactory regarding passive smoking but as it is done on only one university so the condition in other environment could not able to determine. In spite of that from our study we can decide that proper law enforcement and more seminar and awareness program regarding the severity of passive smoking exposure should help to improve the situation more.

Chowdhury, Md Shaidur Rahman In developing countries like Bangladesh, medically inappropriate, ineffective, and economically inefficient use of pharmaceuticals is commonly observed in the health care system throughout the world. Various forms of inappropriate prescribing often remain unnoticed by those who are involved in health sector decision making or delivery of health services. This problem will usually come to the attention of health decision makers or managers when there is an acute shortage of pharmaceutical budget and action for cost efficiency is required. This study investigated the pattern of utilization of health care services provided by the Upazila Health Complex (UHC). The overall aim of the study was to identify the factors that are affecting the use of Health Care (HC) services and to provide policy recommendations for improving the utilization of HC facilities at the UHC level. The study focuses on socio-economic factors, knowledge and attitude of the people and demographic factors that are affecting the use of HC services from population perspectives. The irrational use of drugs in the health care system is not only because of the financial reasons but also the policy makers and managers are usually most concerned. Irrational use of drug is harmful for the patients and for the nations.

Tanzim In Bangladesh tendency of the mass people to buy medicines without proper prescription. Undoubtedly this is not a healthy practice to adopt. Government published the "Essential Drug List" or "EDL" in 1982 along with the National Drug Policy (NDP). The NDP stated that no medicine of any kind can be manufactured for sale or be imported, distributed or sold unless it is registered with the licensing authority; and no person, being a retailer, is allowed to sell any drug without the personal supervision of a pharmacist registered in any Register of the Pharmacy Council of Bangladesh. Despite substantial progress in drug manufacturing, irrational drug use, inappropriate prescribing, inadequate access to essential drugs, and uncontrolled price are major problems affecting the total health care system badly in Bangladesh. One can get any drugs from anywhere. So in real sense, there is still no 'Prescription Only Drug' in Bangladesh at present. Drug selling pattern is a powerful indicator of rational use of drugs. To find out the picture of Drug Selling Pattern in Bangladesh, a survey program was conducted in three areas namely Dinajpur, Nator and Nowakhali. In case of conducting the program, urban and rural both areas were considered to perform the study. Firstly, the data was collected from those areas with the help of a prepared sample collection form and, then the analysis of the data and finding out the subjected outcomes. The main objective of the study was to improve the drug selling pattern and enhance the rational use of drug to ensure the proper public health.
