“…8 The smoking prevalence among Japanese male physicians is higher than in the United States (3%-10%), [24][25][26] the United Kingdom (4%-5%), 27,28 and New Zealand (5%), 29 but similar to that in some other developed countries, such as France 30 (males, 33%; females, 24%), Italy 31 (males, 34%; females, 29%), and the Netherlands 32 (males, 41%; females, 24%). The smoking prevalence among female Japanese physicians is assumed to be similar to that in the United States and the United Kingdom.…”

“…11,12,20 Generally, studies found that GPs who smoke report giving cessation advice less frequently than nonsmoking GPs, although not all studies supported this pattern. Studies in Austria, 21 Finland, 22 France, 23,24 and Greece 25 all found that non-smoking GPs were significantly more likely than smoking GPs to report that they raised the issue or advise quitting. However, a recent comparative study of 11 European Union (EU) countries concluded that while GPs who smoke tended to be less frequent in advising quitting, the difference was not significant.…”

Background: Smoking cessation advice by GPs is an effective and cost-effective intervention, but is not implemented as widely as it could be. Aim: This wide-ranging Europe-wide literature review, part of the European Union (EU) PESCE (General Practitioners and the Economics of Smoking Cessation in Europe) project, explored the extent of GPs’ engagement in smoking cessation and the factors that influence their engagement. Method: Two searches were conducted, one for grey literature, across all European countries, and one for academic studies. Data from eligible studies published from 1990 onwards were synthesised and reported under four categories of influencing factors: GP characteristics, patient characteristics, structural factors, and cessation-specific knowledge and skills. Results: The literature showed that most GPs in Europe question the smoking status of all new patients but fewer routinely ask this of regular patients, or advise smokers to quit. The proportion offering intensive interventions or prescribing treatments is lower still. Factors influencing GPs’ engagement in smoking cessation include GPs’ own smoking status and their attitudes towards giving smoking cessation advice; whether patients present with smoking-related symptoms, are pregnant, or heavy smokers; time, training, and reimbursement are important structural factors; and some GPs lack knowledge and skills regarding the use of specific cessation methods and treatments, or have limited awareness of specialist cessation services. No single factor or category of factors explains the variations in GPs’ engagement in smoking cessation. Conclusion: Strategies to improve the frequency and quality of GPs’ engagement in smoking cessation need to address the multifaceted influences on GPs’ practice and to reflect the widely differing contexts across Europe.Co-authored by the PESCE European Research Tea

“…The recent evidence indicates that even brief fi rm advice to stop smoking can lead to an increase in long-term cessation rates of about 1-2% (Liu & Tang 1998;McEwen & West 2001). However, it is also reported that whether or not a physician advises a patient to stop smoking depends on the smoking status of that particular physician (Kaetsu et al 2002;Tessier et al 1993b). There is a risk that the advice of smoking physicians is affected by their individual assessment of the health consequences of smoking, which might not be in accordance with the evidence.…”

Comparison of knowledge, attitudes and behaviour regarding smoking among Estonian and Finnish physicians

et al. 2005

Physicians' own smoking patterns and quitting behaviour are important because physicians serve as models for their patients and play a key role in the reinforcement of smoke-free health facilities. These results remain a challenge to medical educators, especially in Estonia. Estonia needs to improve medical education in terms of motivating physicians to ask about the smoking patterns of their patients and of training medical students and resident physicians to counsel their patients to stop smoking.
