Anyone have any updates or data on predictors of physicians' smoking levels and smoking advice, and/or on the role of the Healthy Doc=Healthy Patient relationship -- the role of physicians' low personal tobacco-use habits and their related, relatively high levels of tobacco-related patient counseling?
