Nursing Students Twice as Likely to Smoke as the General Population, Italian Study Finds

Public health experts are calling for urgent steps to reduce the number of healthcare professionals who smoke, after a survey of over 800 new nursing students found that more than half were current or former smokers.

Smoking prevention is an important issue and healthcare professionals, especially physicians and nurses, can play a major role in helping people to understand the consequences that smoking can have on their health and their lives.

Is it right for the medical personnel to smoke especially when they are in the hospital?
