quit after the program and assisting patients with quitting (Table 3). The nurses’ smoking status made a difference in the impact of the educational program on delivery of smoking cessation interventions. There were no statistically significant differences in the consistent (“always/usually”) delivery of the five A’s prior to the educational program between nurses who were current smokers and those who were not. When comparing changes in consistent intervention between smokers and nonsmokers at 3 months, we see significant differences (Table 4). Four times more nonsmokers reported consistently asking about a patient’s smoking status. Three times as many nurses who were nonsmokers consistently advised smokers to quit. None of the nurses who smoked consistently arranged for follow-up. Almost three times as many nurses who were nonsmokers consistently recommended use of the telephone quitline as compared to current smokers.
