Moitraiyee, Sunayana Manipal, Amit Mahuli, Simpy Mittal, Sathish Kumar.D, Barani.K, Ram Narayanan Abstract: Aim: To know about the knowledge, attitude, and practice among the dentist in giving smoking cessation advice and to know about the knowledge and practice of smoking among young adults. Materials and Methods: A self administered questionnaire was prepared and distributed among the dentist and young adults of Chennai, India. The survey was done among 100 dentists and 100 adults.results: The survey was done among a total of 200 subjects out of which 100 dentists and 100 adolescents of Chennai, India. It was found that around 44% of young adults started to smoke at the age of years.51% of the dentists failed to give smoking cessation advice because of lack of time in the clinics were as 49% dint feel they had lack of time.45% of the dentists prefer to give pamphlets on smoking cessation advice and 55% of the dentist preferred to talk directly to the patients. Conclusion: There is still a lack of practice and knowledge in all the components of smoking cessation advice.4a model of cessation advice (ask, advice, assist and arrange for follow up) should be introduced to the dentists in their curriculum. Keywords : Smoking cessation advice, smoking attitude, curriculum Introduction: The effect of smoking varies from person to person as it will depend on the person's vulnerability to the chemical in cigarette or tobacco smoke 1. There are approximately 120 million smokers in India, about 37 percent of all men and 5 percent of all women between the ages of 30 and 69 2 are found to be smoking. Smoking kills 900,000 people every year in India, and unless corrective action is taken soon that number will increase to 1 million smoking-related deaths annually by More than 50 percent of the tobacco-related deaths in India occur among illiterate men or women. 2 they have a higher risk of developing diseases like: bronchitis), heart attack and other coronary diseases. 4 Most people, who smoke would have, begin smoking before they are 25 years old. Nearly 10 million cigarettes are sold every minute, that s around 15 billion daily. 5 As more than 50% of smokers see a dentist 6-7 in one year it becomes the duty of the dentist to be able to give a proper smoking cessation advice for a better living and better future of mankind. Materials and Methods: Because they experience these different side effects, A cross sectional study was done on a total population of [INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF PREVENTIVE DENTISTRY AND ORAL EPIDEMIOLOGY1:1 [2012] : 1-7]Page 1

5 Discussion : Smoking is one of the most important public health challenge which leads to various drastic diseases and even death. On an average, cigarette smokers die ten years younger than non-smokers. In the last decade, awareness programs have been organized in most of the schools and institutions across America and Europe which proved to be very effective 8. This idea has been spread to the developing countries like ours and it has carved a special interest by everyone. Maternal smoking is associated with an increasing risk of cleft palate and various other congenital heart defects in infants 9. According to an article the reasons due to which people take on smoking is that- 6 out of 10 people are used to it due to their friends and the surroundings, while others do it either for relaxation or just to follow their idols 10. In the above article, for a question on quitting of smoking,8 out of 10 tried to quit and 2 of them tried but had to cut down because they were not serious about it 10. In the article, 6 out of 10 people start smoking due to the affect of smokers around them 10. According to an article on dentist s attitude and practice regarding prevention of smoking says that 31.2% always ask their patients, 31.2% never asks while 37.6% of the dentists asks sometimes to their patients depending on the person they deal with 11. According to another article by experts, the best way to make students aware about the bad effects of smoking is through a friendly approach that younger dentists can develop by giving their patients clear outcomes through intake of tobacco 11. According to an article by Dentists attitude on prevention of smoking 7.8% of the dentists prefer using leaflets, 77.1% do not prefer these methods and 17.1% sometimes prefer using pamphlets for awareness programs 11. Dental professionals can play an important role in preventing adverse health effects by promoting smoking cessation, as more than 50% of the smokers see a dentist in any one year 6-7. A survey by Scandinavian medical practitioners showed that the shortage of smoking cessation experts to whom patients could be referred was the most common barrier to the practitioners discussing cessation with their smoking patients 12. The dental team has an important role to playing encouraging the patients to quit using tobacco as they are ideally placed to recognize and point out the damage caused by tobacco to oral tissues and highlight the general health benefits of quitting and to refer on to professional cessation if appropriate 13. According to current practice, most of the students who spend less than three minutes, whereas 12% of the students spend an estimating time of three or more than three minutes. While a brief advice given over three minutes is effective 14-15,16. There is a gap in the evidence base for the effectiveness of brief interventions of less than two minutes 17. Moreover, lack of proper knowledge was identified as the key barrier for discussing smoking with adolescent patients 18. Conclusion : The above studies suggests that currently, courses in smoking cessation are not a part of under-graduate or post-graduate curriculum and not even incorporated in the dental programs for qualified practitioners. When considering the increase in number of smokers in and around us reinforcement is mandatory. This might be established through curriculums and continuous and educations.
