Cigarette smoking behavior among Rhode Island physicians, 1963-83. 1986

J S Buechner, and D K Perry, and H D Scott, and B E Freedman, and J T Tierney, and W J Waters

A survey of practicing physicians in Rhode Island revealed a cigarette smoking rate of only 8.3 per cent in 1983. This represents a continuation of the consistent decrease seen in the percentage of physician smokers in each such survey since 1963. Under age 30, the rate was only 4.5 per cent. An exponential model suggests that the overall rate for Rhode Island physicians will be below 3 per cent by the year 2000.
