title: [Prevalence of smoking between the doctors, nurses and medical faculty students at some health facilities in Turkey].
abstract: Smoking is an important behaviour among health professionals who are role models for the public. For this reason 22 studies are selected which are smoking behaviours among doctors, nurses and students of medical school in Turkey. Smoking prevalence is found 32.6-66.2%, 40.3-68.6% and 15.1-36.6% among doctors, nurses and students of the medical faculties respectively. Smoking is fairly widespread among health professionals. Health professionals who are assumed to be role models for the public have to be considered primarily in cigarette control programs.
