摘要：
This paper provides useful feedback from patients regarding dentists' current rates of smoking cessation advice.Dental patients expect dentists to be interested in all relevant health issues. It appears that smoking cessation advice by dentists will not alienate patients who smoke.However, patients lack confidence in dentists' ability specifically to assist them to quit.Less than one in three smokers would make a quit attempt if advised by their dentist to do so.Smoking cessation advice by dentists is not self-evidently effective. To ensure that dentists maximise their limited time with patients, more rigorous research is required to establish efficacy of smoking cessation advice when delivered by dentists before admonishing changes in clinical practice.
