Health is basic prerequisite for the existence and operation of values. Health care enables people to protect of restore health throughout their lives, from birth to death, in accordance legistation.This paper aims to identify the importance of assessing a locus of control over using the scale measuring tool, Multidimensional Health Locus of Control (MHCL). In total, 100 respondents participated in the survey, with an average of 42 years. Statistical analyses were performed using Statistica, version 2007, with significance level of 0,05. Correlation of MHLC and attitudes toward preventive actions showed statistically significant results with readiness to quit smoking. People with hight IHLC scores were more willing to stop smoking, change their diet, and reduce body weight. Our assumption in this reaserch was that individuals who believed in internal control of health had a more positive effect regarding preventive actions.
