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名医院医生的吸烟习惯和对禁烟立法的态度进行了询问。调查发现，15.8%的人现在吸烟[40%的放射科医生，25%的外科医生和麻醉师，8%的内科医生和儿科医生(P=0.0005)]，其中76%的人在20岁之前开始吸烟，54%的人试图至少戒烟一次。24.2%的非吸烟者是戒烟者，92%的非吸烟者和83%的吸烟者告诉患者戒烟(P=0.10)。69%的人认为香烟的销售应该限于18岁及以上的人，77%的人认为香烟的广告应该被禁止，74%的人认为尼古丁应该被认为是一种成瘾物质。吸烟的医生可能很难在患者中促进健康的行为。必须向他们提供帮助才能戒烟，并应重视医学生的预防。
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 antismoking 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 nonsmokers 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.
