According to the questionnaire results, high smoking rates among medical doctors working in Moscow drug-addiction out-patient clinics were identified: 78% of males and 42% of females smoke or used to smoke. The long duration and high intensity of smoking were noted. Interestingly, a large number of smoking doctors (36% of men and 43% of women) do not want to quit smoking. Smoking addiction medicine specialists pay far less attention to prevention and treatment of tobacco dependence in their patients.
