“…This rate is above the one found by Mirra;Rosemberg (1997) 3 , notwithstanding, it is much below what has been seen in some developed countries. According to the literature, 44% of Greek physicians are smokers, as well as 30% of Dutch, 33% of Danish 7 and 34% of French 8 .…”

“…In Brazil, sampling investigations during scientific meetings from 1970 to 1991 showed that the ratio of smoking doctors varies between 20 and 50% 3 . Mirra, Rosemberg (1997) 3 questioned 23% of Brazilian physicians and observed about 6.4% of smoking doctors, with a prevalence in the age range of 35 to 69 years, without significant difference between genders. The largest amount of smokers was seen in medical specialties in which there is not much direct contact with patients: clinical genetics, hospital management and forensic medicine.…”

Ot orhinolaryngologists are directly involved in the diagnosis and management of smoking related diseases, including upper airway malignancy. It is important that the specialists have skills to treat smoking and nicotine dependence. It is also known that there are smokers amongst doctors. Aim: To assess the opinions and practices of the otorhinolaryngologists of the state of Sao Paulo, Brazil, concerning smoking and nicotine dependence, and evaluation of smoking habits of the specialists. Study Design: Crosssectional. Material and Methods: We randomly selected 600 otorhinolaryngologists of Sao Paulo State, Brazil. A survey was mailed to the specialists in March 2005. We gathered data received from March to May 2005. Results: There were 209 respondents. Forty-seven specialists (46.4%) rated themselves as moderately familiar with the methods for treatment of nicotine dependence, and 60 (28.7%) as unsatisfactorily familiar. One hundred and forty-four respondents (68.9%) have never smoked, 50 (23.9%) were former-smokers, nine (4.3%) were occasional smokers and six (2.9%) were regular smokers. Conclusion: The prevalence of smoking in the sample of 209 otorhinolaryngologists of Sao Paulo State, Brazil, was 7.1%.

“…Dois estudos mostram resultados distintos: do Instituto de Tisiologia e Pneumologia (ITP), Rio de Janeiro, em 1989, com o menor número (60 médicos), que mostrou 11% de fumantes entre médicos do sexo masculino e, o de Mirra e Rosemberg, realizado em 1991, que apresenta o viés de a amostra não ter sido aleatória e sim por respostas espontâneas a questionários enviados pelo correio aos médicos associados da AMB, com 6,4% de fumantes. Podese dizer que a prevalência tabágica do médico brasileiro ocupa posição intermediária com relação à de outros paí-ses (7,(21)(22)(23)(24)(25) .…”

et al. 2002

O tabagismo é um grave problema de saúde pública. A luta antitabágica está em grande parte alicerçada nos profissionais da área da saúde, em especial, nos médicos. O médico frente à sua comunidade é um modelo de conduta e como tal deve dar o exemplo de não fumar. Objetivo: Avaliar a magnitude e distribuição do tabagismo na população médica de Rio Grande, RS, e caracterizar o perfil do fumante. Método: Os dados foram obtidos no ano de 1999, através da aplicação e análise de questionário, elaborado segundo modelo proposto pela OMS, entre 333 médicos, sendo 213 (64%) homens e 120 (36%) mulheres. A média de idade da amostra foi de 43 (± 10,5) anos, com 65,1% no grupo de 30 a 50 anos. Resultados: Constatou-se prevalência de tabagismo atual de 18,3% (15,9% fumantes regulares + 2,4% fumantes ocasionais). A prevalência de tabagismo regular quanto ao gênero foi de 17,8% entre homens e 12,5% entre mulheres, sem diferença estatisticamente significante (p > 0,05). O consumo de cigarros foi, em média, de 24,3 maços/ano, sendo maior no sexo masculino e aumentando com a idade. Verificou-se que 86,8% dos fumantes iniciaram o tabagismo antes dos 20 anos de idade, tendo por motivação, em 63,2% dos casos, a vontade própria e/ou influência dos amigos. Conclusão: Embora a prevalência tabágica entre os médicos rio-grandinos seja inferior à de outros países, ainda é inaceitável, visto que esta categoria tem papel determinante na prevenção e na luta antitabágica, justificando uma campanha contra o fumo entre eles.

“…(14) However, we must consider the fact that these data might have been underestimated, since the smokers might represent exactly the portion that failed to respond. (15) We point out that the small number of questionnaires returned, although within the number calculated for the size of the sample, is the principal bias and limiting factor of this study.…”

Objective: To profile the characteristics of smoking among physicians working in the Federal District of Brazil. Methods: A questionnaire on smoking, adapted from that used by the World Health Organization, was mailed to all physicians registered with the Federal District Regional Council of Medicine. Of the 7023 questionnaires mailed, 830 (12%) were duly completed and returned. Results: Among the physicians participating in the study, the prevalence of smoking was 7.2% (5.9% being regular smokers and 1.3% being occasional smokers). The remainder of the sample consisted of nonsmokers (70.1%) and former smokers (22.7%). In terms of gender, approximately 8.5% of the male physicians were smokers, compared with 5.3% of the female physicians (p > 0.05). Of the physicians who smoked, 80% had taken up the habit before the age of 20, 13% from 21 to 30, and 7% after the age of 31. The prevalence of smoking by specialty was as follows: Surgeons, 10.3%; Anesthesiologists, 10.3%; Clinicians, 9.1%; Gynecologists, 2.9%; and Pediatricians, 2.4%. Approximately 75% of the smoking physicians had been advised by their own doctors to stop smoking, although only 34.9% had tried to quit smoking with the preceding year. Of the physicians responding, 57.1% agreed that smoking is a health hazard, and yet 26.3% reported smoking in hospitals or in their offices. Conclusion: Efforts to control smoking in the Federal District should be intensified and, despite the fact that the prevalence of smoking is declining among physicians, smoking cessation programs should target this population.
