Assessment of the smoking prevention and cessation needs of Canadian student nurses & registered nurses.
Smoking is still a problem, particularly among diploma student nurses. Strategies aimed at prevention and cessation need to be developed with emphasis on the motivation to quit rather than new cessation techniques. School curricula should address not only knowledge, but also attitudes and skills required to assist in the tobacco reduction effort.
