title: Cigarette smoking among medical students.
abstract: A survey of first and second year medical students at Saint Louis University revealed that only 6 per cent were current cigarette smokers. This represents a continuation of a downward trend in the percentage of smokers among American medical students as reported in earlier, independent surveys. Implications for improved health status and for better preventive care for patients by these future physicians are discussed.
