摘要： 2016年，世界卫生组织（WHO）在其发布的关于世界烟草使用情况的报告中指出，每年大约有600万人死于吸烟诱发的疾病，危害居民身心健康的同时，也给社会造成了严重的经济负担。作为社区居民健康的“守门人”，全科医生在推动社会控烟事业进步的过程中应扮演重要的角色。本文基于全科医生职业使命的伦理考量，提出全科医生在社会控烟事业中应承担的伦理责任：第一，全科医生应该在行为上树立榜样，自身坚决杜绝烟草；第二，全科医生应尽力规劝其患者戒烟，同时在社区中倡导建立无烟环境；第三，全科医生应在整个医疗体系内积极宣传无烟化的理念，将戒烟辅助纳入常规诊疗服务流程。此外，全科医生还应该致力于促进政府对烟草控制框架公约的履行，推动全社会控烟事业的进步。
