The article presents a survey which identifies the smoking behavior of American Public Health Association (APHA) members in the U.S. The association conducted the survey in order to determine how they could best contribute to the goal of decreasing cigarette smoking within the country. It has shown additional evidence that health professionals' own smoking behavior is related to their attitudes and actions in urging a change in the smoking behavior of those to whom they give care. In addition, the said survey presented the percentage of APHA members who ever tried to persuade someone to stop smoking.
