Methods: The survey was carried out on 100 people in Dankook University Dental Hospital. And the questionnaire consists of 21 items.
Results: The results show that many of people who work in the dental field expect positive effects of the treatment, but most of the respondents were not aware of the initiation of health insurance coverage smoking cessation treatment, and they did not have correct information about smoking cessation counseling and prescription.
Conclusion: In conclusion, the government and ministry of health welfare should pay more attention to the promotion of the smoking cessation treatment in dentistry by proper advertising and educational courses.
