To gather data about smoking habits among members of the Japan Society of Chest Diseases, a questionnaire was distributed during the 36th annual meeting. A total of 2411 out of 3725 questionnaires were returned (65%). The percentage of smokers was 23%. Smoking was prohibited in the hospitals of 281 respondents (8%). Seventy-nine percent reported that patients smoking areas were separated from patients' non-smoking areas, but only 41% reported that physicians' smoking areas were separated from physicians' non-smoking areas. Tobacco was being solid in over 50% of the hospitals represented, either via vending machines or through hospital retail stores. However, 79% of the respondents indicated that hospitals should be smoke-free. Questions of ethics in medicine are highlighted by this questionnaire. The obvious issues involved are whether or nor both patients and physicians should be required to stop smoking in health-care facilities. The larger issue is the degree and method by which the Japan Society of Chest Diseases should involve itself actively in smoking reform for the sake of society in general.
为收集日本胸部疾病学会会员的吸烟习惯数据，在第36届年会上发放了调查问卷。3725份问卷共回收2411份（65%）。吸烟者的比例为23%。281名受访者（8%）所在的医院禁止吸烟。79%的受访者称患者吸烟区与非吸烟区分开，但只有41%的受访者称医生吸烟区与非吸烟区分开。超过50%的受访医院通过自动售货机或医院零售店出售烟草。然而，79%的受访者表示医院应该无烟。这份调查问卷凸显了医学伦理问题。其中明显的问题是，是否应该要求患者和医生在医疗场所都戒烟。更大的问题是，日本胸部疾病学会应在多大程度上以及以何种方式积极参与全社会的吸烟改革。
