[Breaking the smoking habit in general practice].
A total of 1,022 adult smokers were questioned about smoking habits and were submitted to pulmonary function tests with spirometry. These patients were subdivided into two groups depending on whether investigation of pulmonary function showed obstruction or normal findings. All of the patients were given the pamphlet: "Important information about smoking" published by the Danish Anticancer League and they were given standardized warnings about smoking and information about the result of the pulmonary function tests. Twelve months later, the patients were questioned about their current smoking habits. 9% with obstruction and 11% without obstruction, respectively, had stopped smoking.
