To examine dentists' and physicians' effectiveness in advising patients who use tobacco to quit, the authors estimated the percentages of smokers in the United States who visited a dentist or physician in the preceding year, the percentages of those who were advised by their health care provider to quit and the percentages of those who planned to quit smoking. They also estimated the percentage of smokeless tobacco users who were ever advised by their dentist or physician to quit. The results of the study indicate that dentists and physicians may not be maximizing their opportunities to advise their patients who use tobacco to quit, or they are not adequately communicating to their patients the importance of quitting.
为了研究牙医和医生在建议吸烟患者戒烟方面的成效，作者估算了美国前一年看过牙医或医生的吸烟者比例、被医疗服务提供者建议戒烟的吸烟者比例以及计划戒烟的吸烟者比例。他们还估算了曾被牙医或医生建议戒烟的无烟烟草使用者比例。研究结果表明，牙医和医生可能没有充分利用机会向吸烟患者建议戒烟，或者没有充分向患者传达戒烟的重要性。
