Abstract

Medical society potentially has a great influence on tobacco control and prevention. With respect to studies conducted in most countries, cigarette SMOKING had existed among medical personnel and had a significant correlation among physicians sate of SMOKING with that of the general population. In Iran we have not had a similar study and we decided to perform this project at the national level.This study evaluated the SMOKING behavior and its related DISEASEs among all members of IMC who are 80,000. It is a descriptive cross-sectional study conducted by means of a questionnaire based on WHO which was matched with IUATLD questionnaire guidelines The project has been carried out in autumn 2003 by sending the questionnaires through the IMC journals for the members.3270 returned questionnaires show that 13.1% of IMC members are smokers. Among IMC members, 19.6% are male and 5.5% of female are smokers. According to the job, 16.6% of general physicians, 12.5% of dentists, 12.5% of pharmacologists, 10.6% of specialists, 1.4% of midwives, 18.2% of nurses and 4.7% of other professions are smokers. The most common age of starting SMOKING is 18 years (31%).Among whole population, 39.6% have DISEASEs which are respectively 37.2%, 46.4% and 45% in non smokers, ex-smokers and smokers.28.2% of smokers who smoke less than 10 cigarettes a day and 44.6% of smokers who smoke more than 20 cigarettes a day have DISEASEs.The SMOKING rates in IMC members are close to the general population rates and are higher in comparison to women. Tobacco use and its DISEASEs have a dose related response.These results are profitable in educating the medical society about SMOKING control across the country and health priority strategies at the national level.
