“…Health behaviors among doctors have been suggested to be an important marker of how harmful lifestyle behaviors are perceived. Thus, it has repeatedly been found that physicians who are smoking restrict from advising their patients to quit smoking cigarettes (Barengo et al 2005;Josseran et al 2005;Nardini et al 1998;Parna et al 2005a, b). Smoking physicians were also less likely to agree with statements that would change their current freedom to smoke cigarettes (Hodgetts et al 2004).…”

The objective of this survey was to assess the beliefs of Swiss psychiatrists about the risks associated with cannabis, and to assess their prohibitive attitudes toward their patients. Eighty-two doctors agreed to fill-up the questionnaire. Cluster analysis retained a 3-cluster solution. Cluster 1: "Prohibitionists" believed that cannabis could induce and trigger all forms of psychiatric disorder, and showed a highly prohibitive attitude. Cluster 2: "Causalists" believed that schizophrenia, but not other psychiatric disorders, could be induced and triggered. Cluster 3: "Prudent liberals" did not believe that psychiatric disorders could be induced by cannabis, and were generally less prohibitive.

“…When the smoking rate of Turkish GPs were compared to that of their European colleagues, a higher rate was found. The smoking rate of Italian, German, French GPs and Swiss primary care physicians were reported to be 28.3, 32.1, 9.6 and 12%, respectively (Pizzo et al 2003;Twardella and Brenner 2005;Josseran et al 2005;Sebo et al 2007). The mean age for starting of smoking on a regular basis was 21 years, which means that most GPs started smoking during their medical education.…”
