title: [Tobacco consumption in a group of physicians of the V Valparaiso Region (Chile)].
abstract: We surveyed 174 physicians from the Valparaiso area regarding smoking habits. 25% were smokers and 75% were not, among them 103 exsmokers (70%). A slightly higher, but not significant percentage of women smokers was observed. Compared to the general population in that area the percentage of physician smokers is significantly lower. The latter show a greater tolerance to smoking habit among their family and patients. Most doctors surveyed were not impressed by the anti-smoking campaigns of health authorities.
