The aim of this study was to determine the knowledge and the practices regarding tobacco consumption in pharmacy students according to their demographic and academic characteristics. The sample consisted of 276 (55.2%) pharmacy students of a Peruvian Private University to whom the "Global Youth Tobacco Survey" (GYTS) was applied. In men, the prevalence of lifetime use of tobacco of 93.7%, of alcohol 70.8% and of illegal drugs 14.1% was identified. The prevalence of lifetime and current consumption of tobacco in the sample was very high. The majority of students began using drugs at 16 years old. There was a strong association between the consumption of tobacco and the fact that at least one of the parents smoked and the exposure to smoke inside the home. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Nurses have unique opportunities to help their patients to stop smoking. The aim of this study was to identify, among nurses of a hospital, the consumption of smoking products, their attitudes and information received on smoking. It was a descriptive study, carried out with 204 (48%) nurses of the Hospital Arzobispo Loayza, Lima, Peru. The Global Health Professional Survey (GHPS) was used. Among the sample the prevalence of smoking in life was 67.1% and 3% in the last month. The majority of nurses presented positive attitudes and knew the importance and responsibility of advising patients to quit. The majority had received general information regarding the topic, though half of them had not received specific information regarding treatment. In view of the importance of this theme, this study identified a need for further research of this nature as well as revision of the curricula regarding the approach toward the theme of smoking.
