“…Dental students surveyed in this study had a positive attitude regarding providing tobacco cessation interventions, where 72% of dental students in our study enquired about their patients’ smoking status although only 33% of participants believed that they are adequately trained in tobacco cessation intervention. The 33% finding is lower than other studies, which indicated 40–60% of dental students reported being adequately trained in giving tobacco cessation advice. However, participants showed a positive approach toward tobacco counselling, since 83% of them agreed that, as dentists, they should be trained in tobacco cessation practices.…”
