The attitudes and smoking habits of 333 doctors at the Lagos University Teaching Hospital were studied. Sixty eight percent were nonsmokers, while 24 percent were currently smoking, and 8 percent were ex-smokers. Surgeons (26 percent) and obstetricians and gynecologists (24 percent) accounted for most of the current smokers.The majority of doctors in Lagos were well informed on the health risks of smoking, but an insufficient number of them are currently giving advice on smoking cessation to their patients. There is a need to further educate doctors in Lagos on the important role physicians can play in smoking-cessation efforts.
对拉各斯大学教学医院的333名医生的态度和吸烟习惯进行了研究。68%的医生不吸烟,24%的医生目前正在吸烟,8%的医生曾经吸烟。外科医生(26%)以及妇产科医生(24%)构成了目前吸烟医生的大多数。拉各斯的大多数医生都充分了解吸烟对健康的危害,但目前只有不足数量的医生向患者提供戒烟建议。有必要对拉各斯的医生进行进一步教育,让他们了解医生在戒烟工作中可以发挥的重要作用。
