Abstract
Conclusions Patients at a urology clinic had low overall knowledge regarding bladder cancer risk factors. Most patients queried had no idea regarding the relationship between bladder cancer and tobacco use regardless of smoking status. Our study suggests the need for the American public to be better educated to help combat smoking related cancers.Keywords
