A non-smoking doctor should set an example for patients. Dentists’ attitudes and behaviors have significant influence on their willingness to giving anti-smoking advices and the effectiveness of provided recommendations.
The research (in the form of a survey) involved 78 students of the 5th year of stomatology at the Medical University in Lodz. The obtained data were compared to the results from similar studies conducted in 2002.
Students’ knowledge about etiology of the most common tobacco-related diseases is mixed and insufficient. Tobacco smoking does not diversify people in terms of their awareness of tobacco-related diseases. The percentage of smokers in the analyzed group was measured as 26.9% and non-smokers as 48.7%. Moreover, behavior of students as future doctors who will have contact with smoking patients was also discussed. A doctor’s duty is to encourage people to quit smoking. The current attitude of doctors towards the fight against the addiction is rather passive, and, according to students, comes from their insufficient knowledge.
During the education of future doctors greater emphasis should be put on delivering pieces of information coming from the advanced scientific research on tobacco-related diseases, and an attempt should be made to increase the knowledge about the diagnosis and treatment of tobacco- related diseases.
不吸烟的医生应该为患者树立榜样。牙医的态度和行为对他们提供戒烟建议的意愿以及所提供建议的效果有重大影响。
这项研究（以调查的形式）涉及罗兹医科大学5年级的78名口腔医学专业学生。将获得的数据与2002年进行的类似研究结果进行了比较。
学生们对最常见烟草相关疾病病因的了解参差不齐且不足。吸烟在人们对烟草相关疾病的认知方面并没有造成差异。分析组中吸烟者的比例为26.9%，不吸烟者为48.7%。此外，还讨论了作为未来将接触吸烟患者的医生的学生行为。医生的职责是鼓励人们戒烟。目前医生对抗烟瘾斗争的态度相当消极，并且据学生们说，这源于他们知识不足。
在未来医生的教育过程中，应更加重视传递来自烟草相关疾病前沿科学研究的信息，并应努力增加对烟草相关疾病诊断和治疗的知识。
