*Overall, the majority of physicians “strongly agreed” that nicotine directly contributes to the development of cardiovascular disease (83.2%), COPD (80.9%), and cancer (80.5%). Comparatively fewer “strongly agreed” that nicotine directly contributes to the development of birth defects (32.9%) and 30.2% did not answer this question—a potential indicator of “do not know.” | *Overall, the majority of physicians “strongly agreed” that nicotine directly contributes to the development of cardiovascular disease (83.2%), COPD (80.9%), and cancer (80.5%).
