title: [Smoking behavior of medical students, house officers and specialists in Groningen, 1989].
abstract: Smoking habits and attitudes towards smoking of medical students (n = 725), house officers (n = 126) and consultants (n = 236) of the University Hospital of Groningen were studied in 1989 using a WHO questionnaire. Overall response was 84%. Twenty-seven percent of the medical students, 28% of the house officers and 34% of the consultants are current smokers. The prevalence of smoking in medical students and house officers is lower than that in the Dutch population. Smoking habits of consultants are similar to the general population. The prevalence of smoking Dutch physicians which was 56% in 1983 is decreasing rapidly. Doctors report they want more information about smoking cessation programs.
