Abstract
Through this project, an integrated tobacco control strategy was developed and implemented in Shaanxi Tuberculosis Dispensary in China. In-depth interviews and focus group discussions suggested that leaders of the dispensary are key to tobacco control. As a result of the project, regulations forbidding smoking or the sale of tobacco inside the dispensary were developed, and smoke-free zones were established. Studies indicate that doctors have relatively low knowledge of the relationship between smoking and TB, and showed only moderate support for integrating tobacco control into their current duties. In this study strategy, leaders were mobilized by establishing a committee for tobacco control.
