title: [Smoking among nurses. An epidemiological survey].
abstract: A review of previous works regarding the smoking habits of nurses from 1989 to the present. Data indicates that the percentage of smoking nurses oscillates between 40% to 60% with the highest number of smokers in the 24 to 35 year old group; routine smokers consume 12 to 17 cigarettes daily. The author points out that this high level of tobacco use among nurses makes it difficult for them to openly play a role in the important fight against its consumption.
