Anti-smoking legislation has been implemented in several countries. In order to study the attitudes of Israeli doctors to such legislation, 260 hospital doctors were questioned regarding their smoking habits and attitudes towards anti-smoking legislation. It was discovered that 15.8% are current smokers [40% of radiologists, 25% of surgeons and anesthetists, and 8% of internists and pediatricians (P = 0.0005)], of which 76% began smoking before the age of 20, and 54% tried to quit at least once. 24.2% of the current non-smokers are prior smokers who stopped, 92% of non-smokers and 83% of smokers tell their patients to quit (P = 0.10). 69% feel that cigarette sales should be limited to those of 18 y and older, 77% that advertisements for cigarettes should be prohibited, and 74% that nicotine should be recognized as an addictive substance. Doctors who smoke may have difficulty promoting healthy behavior among their patients. They must be offered help in order to quit, and emphasis should be placed on prevention among medical students.
几个国家已经实施了禁烟立法。为了研究以色列医生对这类立法的态度，对260名医院医生就其吸烟习惯和对禁烟立法的态度进行了询问。结果发现，15.8%的医生目前仍在吸烟（放射科医生中有40%，外科医生和麻醉师中有25%，内科医生和儿科医生中有8%，P = 0.0005），其中76%在20岁之前开始吸烟，54%至少尝试戒烟一次。目前不吸烟的医生中有24.2%曾经吸烟但已戒烟，92%的不吸烟者和83%的吸烟者会建议他们的患者戒烟（P = 0.10）。69%的医生认为香烟销售应限于18岁及以上人群，77%认为应禁止香烟广告，74%认为尼古丁应被认定为成瘾物质。吸烟的医生在向患者推广健康行为方面可能会遇到困难。必须为他们提供戒烟帮助，并且应该在医学生中强调预防。
