Smoking behaviour among nurses in Ontario: cross-sectional results from the Champlain Nurses' Study.
CONCLUSIONS: The prevalence of nurse smokers in our population is lower than previous estimates, and consistent with global declines in cigarette smoking. However, smoking was still prominent and associated with several other risk factors. Given the important relationship between smoking and health, and the critical role that nurses play in health care delivery, they should be an important focus for smoking cessation initiatives and other health education initiatives.
