AB I report an undergraduate medical student project in which a questionnaire was used to try to assess the present level of public knowledge about the harmful effects of cigarette smoking on health. Patients attending a health centre were selected for the study, and a total of 410 questionnaires were completed and analysed. Non-smokers appeared to be better informed about hazards than smokers. The general level of awareness was not as high as might be predicted in view of continual propaganda.
