Smoking is a medical concern. Doctors were the first to recognize the health hazards of smoking. So far, the knowledge of doctors concerning smoking is not really good and their attitude against smoking is not adequate. To change the attitude of doctors, it is necessary to modify the curriculum, multiply publications, intervene through the media, and create medical associations. The role of medical associations is to assess knowledge and attitudes; to reply to a lack of knowledge; to assess how people react; to motivate smokers to quit smoking; and to participate in preventive measures in information and education. The members of associations should be models of nonsmokers. They could also be associated with health workers. The members of such associations should intervene to improve regulations and legislations against smoking.
吸烟是一个医学问题。医生是最早认识到吸烟对健康危害的人。到目前为止,医生对吸烟的了解并不够深入,他们对吸烟的态度也不够坚决。为了改变医生的态度,有必要修改课程设置、增加出版物、通过媒体进行干预并成立医学协会。医学协会的作用是评估知识和态度;应对知识匮乏的情况;评估人们的反应;激励吸烟者戒烟;以及参与信息和教育方面的预防措施。协会成员应该成为不吸烟者的榜样。他们也可以与卫生工作者合作。这类协会的成员应该进行干预,以改进针对吸烟的法规。
