The prevalence of smoking among physicians has gradually declined over the past 25 years. Few recent studies have examined specific smoking habits. Of 393 physicians in the Minnesota Medical Association who responded to a survey (response rate of 83%), 9% reported smoking any form of tobacco. The prevalence of cigarette smoking was 4.9%, while 5.1% smoked a pipe and 2.1% smoked cigars. The prevalence estimates of current and former smokers were greater among men than women and among older than younger physicians. Cigarette and overall smoking prevalence among physicians continues to be well below levels reported for the general population.
在过去25年里，医生群体中的吸烟率逐渐下降。近期很少有研究调查具体的吸烟习惯。明尼苏达医学协会的393名医生回应了一项调查（回应率为83%），其中9%的人报告吸食任何形式的烟草。吸烟率为4.9%，吸烟斗的比例为5.1%，吸雪茄的比例为2.1%。男性医生和年龄较大的医生中，当前吸烟者和既往吸烟者的患病率估计高于女性医生和年龄较小的医生。医生群体中的吸烟率和总体吸烟率仍远低于普通人群的报告水平。
