the research encompassed 81 health professionals. Among them 71% were women. The highest participation rates on average where found in the 45-54 year group (29.7%). The most of participants were health professionals with middle school education (81%). Only 5% of the participants were physicians. The great number of health professionals (47.5%) smoked between 1-9 years. Research shows that 61% of participants were passionate smokers who smoked more than 14 cigarettes a day. Out of 81 participants 42 medical workers has never tried to stop smoking. Research shows that smoking habit is very spread among medical workers and it follows the general state in population. It's surprising because we expect that health worker must be role model of the healthy life.
