Comparative StudySupport and correlates of support for banning smoking in cars with children: findings from the ITC Four Country Survey.
Since 2006, banning smoking in cars with children has become a rapidly growing tobacco control policy. However, to date, there have been few studies examining support and correlates of support for car smoking bans, and none of the existing studies have been international in nature. We conducted such a study among smokers in four countries. ⋯ These findings indicate that a majority of smokers in the four countries support banning smoking in cars with children, and lend support to banning smoking in cars with children. Additionally, they suggest that support may be increased by educating smokers about the dangers of cigarette smoke exposure.

We sought to investigate the penetration of the H1N1v vaccine in Greek medical students, as well as their approach to the vaccination. ⋯ Our findings confirmed the low penetration of the H1N1 vaccine in Greece, as in most European countries, even in medical students. Better education of the students and the public might aid in increasing the immunization rates.
