title: [The prevalence of smoking in physicians in Romania].
abstract: An inquiry upon the prevalence of the habit of smoking in doctors in Romania, performed in a group of 1136 doctors (p = 0.05) revealed a prevalence of 43.2%, 50.1% in men and 38.6% in women. Smoking is more frequent in group age 30-49 (47.2%). More than half of the smoking doctors smoke between 10 and 20 cigarettes a day. 45.7% of the resident doctors are smokers. Taking into account the large interface with the public, the medical staff can play an important part in the activity of reducing or stopping smoking.
