Attitudes to smoking in open population depending on education and character of labor

The study was carried out according to the algorithms of the World Health Organization “MONICA-Psychosocial” program by using the representative population sample of male residents (n=1000) of Tyumen. The aim of the study was to elucidate the attitudes to tobacco smoking in men of employable age in Tyumen depending on their education levels and character of labor. Obtained results suggested that 65.0% of 25-64-year-old men in Tyumen population attempted to change their smoking habits with various degrees of success. The study showed that Tyumen men of employable age working manual labor had the most prominent smoking habits; an increase in education level was associated with the development of negative attitudes to tobacco smoking.
