PURPOSE: According to the Japanese Ministry of Health and Welfare, smoking rate is still high in Japan; currently, nearly 60% of men aged 20 to 40 smoke cigarettes, with the rate among young women being markedly increased. This study aims to describe differences in smoking behavior, attitude and knowledge of smoking effects among health care professionals. METHOD: A self-oriented questionnaire was delivered to health care workers. The questionnaire included demographic data, smoking status, and knowledge of smoking effects. Furthermore, smoking attitudes, stress level, necessity of smoking countermeasures were measured by using 100 mm Visual Analogue Scale. ANOVA was used to compare attitudes and knowledge levels among smokers, non-smokers, and ex-smokers. RESULT and CONCLUSION: A total of 897 (male = 304, female = 586) questionnaires were returned to the researchers. Average age for the total was 36.8 ± 9.1 years old. The smoking rate for the total was 17.5%; male 33.9% and female 9.4%. The ex-smokers (n = 92) and non-smokers (n = 2648) had significantly higher smoking knowledge levels than the smokers (n = 157). Compared to the non-/ex-smokers, the smokers had significantly higher points on “smoking is fashionable,” but lower points on “smoking is unhealthy,” and “awareness of second-hand smoke.” Overall continuous smokers had less knowledge and more positive feelings toward smoking while smokers who had tried smoking cessation (54.8%) showed higher awareness of smoking disadvantages and a stronger desire to stop smoking.
