dc.description.abstractTobacco is a leading risk factor for the global burden of disease in both developed and developing countries. The morbidity and mortality caused by tobacco can be prevented efficaciously and cost-effectively by active intervention from health professionals. In developing countries, a limited number of studies have explored tobacco usage and training in smoking cessation and prevention amongst health professions students. This pilot study evaluated: 1. tobacco use patterns; 2. knowledge, attitudes and beliefs towards tobacco use and tobacco control; 3. environmental tobacco smoke exposures; and 4. training in smoking cessation and prevention amongst health professions students in South Africa.en_ZA
