Medical students, with 18 percent, and nursing, with 24 percent among those who consume less snuff, while, on the other hand, social work (38.3 percent) and education (26.8 percent) are the smokers.

These are some of the conclusions of the doctoral thesis at the Faculty of Medicine of the University of Murcia for Adelaide Lozano Polo, which has obtained excellent cum laude.

They claim the findings that the probability of being a smoker or smoker is higher in patients older than 25 years and if you live with other smokers, which is particularly evident in the girls.
