We examined smoking prevalence among dentists in Hyogo, Japan, as smoking would influence their smoking cessation interventions to encourage their patients to stop smoking. In 2003, a self-administered questionnaire was mailed to all members of the Hyogo Dental Association (HDA) in Japan. Of the 1,133 members of the HDA, 327 were current smokers (28.9%). Smoking prevalence among HDA members was significantly higher than that among Japan Medical Association (JMA) members in 2004, as previously reported (16.2%) (p<0.01). Although smoking prevalence among HDA members decreased overall in 2003 in comparison with 2000, smoking prevalence among dentists aged 20-39 yr increased. These findings indicate that smoking was more prevalent among dentists in Hyogo Prefecture than among Japanese medical doctors. It is important to promote smoking cessation among Japanese dentists so that dentists will be more likely to encourage their patients to quit smoking.<br>
