dc.description.abstractOne of the most important steps in the struggle against tobacco smoking is public training and awareness. For this purpose, teachers carry important responsibilities. This study is aimed to evaluate the rate of smoking, reactions against it, the knowledge about smoking-related disorders, and legal restrictions against smoking in guide teachers (guidance counselors). A self-administered questionnaire was applied to guide teachers in Diyarbakir. Totally 217 teachers (135 male, 82 female, mean age 29.2 ± 4.5 years) were included in this study. Seventy-eighth (35.9%) of them were found to be smokers. More than 90% of them showed supportive attitudes for all the legal preventions except for extremely high cigarette prices, prohibition of smoking in entertainment places such as cafes, restaurants and outdoor places in which various sports, cultural and art activities take place. Almost all of the participants were aware of the health damaging impacts of smoking except its neonatal death and bladder cancer-inducing effects. Owing to their high degree, support for legal restrictions and their knowledge regarding the damaging effects of cigarette smoking on human health, guiding counselors can be actively cooperated in anti-smoking campaigns in formal education.en_US
