Chinese physicians and their smoking knowledge, attitudes, and practices

(Disponible en anglais seulement.)

Survey of 3552 hospital-based physicians in China discovered that their smoking prevalence is 23%, and 37% of current smokers have smoked in front of their patients. While 64% usually advise smokers to quit, few set quit dates or prescribe pharmacotherapy. These issues need to be addressed to help reduce smoking rates in China.

Comment: I find it quite shocking that 37% of doctors who smoke have smoked in front of their patients!
