The aim of this work was to study the prevalence, behavior and opinions towards smoking in a sample of 288 physicians from Santiago, stratified according to sex and specialty. The WHO Europe questionnaire was applied and smoker was defined as the person that consumed one or more cigarettes per day. Thirty six percent of the sample (40.2% of men and 23.8% of women) smoked an average of 9 cigarettes per day, compared to the figure of 28.3% obtained in a similar study in 1983. Fifty percent of smokers felt that they will not quit. No differences in knowledge about problems associated to smoking or forbidding smoking in hospitals, were observed between smokers and non-smokers. A majority of smokers did not smoke in front of their patients and did not allow smoking in their private clinics. It is concluded that, although a high proportion of physicians continue to smoke, their opinions and behavior will support smoking cessation efforts.
这项工作的目的是研究来自圣地亚哥的288名医生样本中吸烟的流行情况、行为及看法，样本按性别和专业分层。应用了世界卫生组织欧洲地区的调查问卷，吸烟者定义为每天吸食一支或多支香烟的人。样本中有36%（男性为40.2%，女性为23.8%）平均每天吸食9支香烟，相比1983年一项类似研究中得出的28.3%的比例有所上升。50%的吸烟者认为自己不会戒烟。吸烟者和不吸烟者在对吸烟相关问题的认知或医院禁烟方面未观察到差异。大多数吸烟者不在患者面前吸烟，也不允许在其私人诊所吸烟。得出的结论是，尽管有很大比例的医生继续吸烟，但他们的看法和行为将有助于戒烟工作。
