Abstract
Health care professionals play an important role in the reduction of tobacco demand through patient counseling, advocating public education programs, supporting legislation, and personal example. Dr. Bettina Piko (2005), in the Journal of Community Health, states that health care professionals are generally more aware of the adverse health consequences of smoking than the general population. Moreover the World Health Organizations Code of Practice on Tobacco Control for Health Professional Organizations calls for health professionals to lead by example and become involved in tobacco control as part of the public health agenda in his/her country.
