  • Comparative analysis of smoking prevalence trends between physicians and the general population in 13 countries.

    • Main Results:

    • Smoking prevalence data for physicians by gender were presented.
    • In ten countries, a decrease in smoking prevalence was observed over time for both male physicians and the general population.
    • This decrease suggests a potential positive influence of physicians' example on public smoking habits.

    Conclusions:

    • Physicians' smoking rates have shown a declining trend in many countries.
    • The parallel decline in general population smoking in some nations suggests a role model effect.
    • Further research is warranted to fully elucidate the impact of physician behavior on public health.
