Back ground: The higher smoking prevalence among nurses is a global trend. However, the Japanese Nursing Association says that nurses smoking rate are also declined. Differences in these smoking rate may be cause to the study subjects. Moreover, since many reports have been written in Japanese, it is considered the bias is often particularly reported nurses subject. In order to understand the smoking status of Japanese nurse, it is important to follow the article of Japan. So, in the present study, I reviewed current status of the smoking prevalence of nurses reported in Japan. Method: Published data were reviewed to demonstrate smoking prevalence rate of Japanese nurses. Data were obtained through published paper or government public data. Japanese-article search was done using the Japan Medical Abstracts Society’s Ichushi Website. English-article search using the PubMed website of the US National Library of Medicine. Results: Most of studies written in Japanese were conducted by Hand delivered. Smoking rate of female nurses were ranged from 7.2% to 32.0% respectively. Trend analysis of the published data showed a decline in smoking rates among Japanese female nurses since 1993. Conclusion: The published data show a significant decline in smoking rates among Japanese female nurses since 1993. Although less than five percent of Japanese female nurses now smoke, more work in tobacco control is necessary to help further reduce the burden of smoking, including in nursing schools.
