- Abstract:
- Tobacco use among all physicians registered in the state of Styria was investigated at the beginning of the year 1995 using an anonymous questionnaire. In addition to the smoking prevalence among different specialties in medicine the main interest was focused on motives for smoking as well as for stopping it. Nearly all physicians were aware of the associated health risks. The overall prevalence of smoking was 14% which lay markedly below the Austrian average of 36%. 52% started smoking before the age of 18. In addition 70% of smoking doctors wanted to reduce or stop smoking within the next 6 months. The early start of smoking during adolescence emphasizes the importance of educational and special teaching programs because even in the medical profession there is a big difference between the intention to stop smoking and the actual success in doing so.
