To discover the tobacco consumption among Primary Care doctors in the Autonomous Community of the Basque Country.
A crossover study by means of a telephone survey.
285 Primary Care doctors in the Autonomous Community of the Basque Country, obtained by systematic random sampling.
Out of the 275 doctors who were finally surveyed, 32.1% smoked every day. 47.4% of doctors between 45 and 64 years old defined themselves as ex-smokers.
The hypothesis can be ventured that Primary Care doctors are in the vanguard of giving up tobacco consumption.
