Twenty one percent of the physicians stated to smoke every day, 8% of them stated to smoke occasionally. Considering the familiarity with 5A practices for those cases willing to quit smoking, 20.1% of the physicians stated to be familiar, and 79.9% of them stated not to be familiar. When the 5A practices according to the specialists of the physicians are considered, while pulmonology physicians have scored significantly the highest average point. The vast majority of physicians dont know the implication 5A and dont applicate the implications. [Med-Science 2019; 8(1.000): 81-7]
