Notes
- The band was founded in Sarajevo in 1980 by Sejo Sexon and Nele Karajlić, emerging from the New Primitivism cultural movement.
- Throughout its four‑decade history, Zabranjeno Pušenje has undergone extensive personnel changes, with Sejo Sexon remaining the continuous founding member.
- The dates above correspond to the years in which members are documented to have participated in official releases, tours, or public band line‑up announcements.
- For some early periods (especially 1980–1985) precise entry and departure dates for certain members are not definitively recorded in publicly available encyclopedic sources; consequently, the listed tenure reflects the best‑available consensus among reliable music references.
