Smoke-free environments in Greece are scarce. Despite existent legislation that forbids smoking in all health care service centers, smoking is still evident. Using a random sample of hospital personnel from a large university hospital in Greece, we evaluated their smoking habits, perceptions and compliance towards hospital smoking regulations. 57.8% of the nursing personnel and 34.5% of medical/research staff were found to be current smokers (p < 0.05). Although 66% of the staff does not oppose the complete hospital smoking ban, 95% responded that they would prefer it to be partial. The above findings warrant the necessity for nurturing efforts to reduce smoking and increase the health professionals' awareness of their position as a role model to both patients and the society.
希腊的无烟环境很少见。尽管有现行法律禁止在所有医疗服务中心吸烟，但吸烟现象仍然很明显。我们从希腊一家大型大学医院的医院工作人员中随机抽取样本，评估了他们的吸烟习惯、认知以及对医院吸烟规定的遵守情况。结果发现，57.8%的护理人员和34.5%的医疗/研究人员是当前吸烟者（p < 0.05）。尽管66%的工作人员不反对在医院全面禁烟，但95%的人表示他们更希望是部分禁烟。上述研究结果表明有必要进行努力，以减少吸烟，并提高卫生专业人员对其作为患者和社会榜样地位的认识。
