最近的趋势是在工作场所整合坐立选项办公桌。许多工作环境中充斥着基于恐惧的广告，暗示久坐与吸烟一样有益健康。由于工人希望保持健康和无痛苦，雇主希望并需要健康的劳动力，因此似乎有一种普遍的趋势，即尽可能避免经常坐着。因为需要大量坐着的工作任务通常是基于计算机的，所以这种“站着是健康的”时尚在基于计算机的工作站中表现得最为明显。可以理解的是，解决坐的困境的简单方法是引进坐-站办公桌。然而，在我们扔掉椅子之前，重要的是要讨论过去和最近的研究表明，长时间站立也会对人体系统产生有害影响。至关重要的是，我们要将健康工作环境的概念扩展到一个促进运动和位置变化的环境，并使工人能够了解他们在自己的肌肉骨骼和生理健康和健康中所扮演的角色，而不仅仅是使用设备。如果我们可以用“久坐是新的吸烟方式”来代替“久坐是新的吸烟方式”，那么我们就可以阐明什么是健康的基于计算机的工作环境和日常工作。
There has been a recent trend in the integration of sit-stand option desks in the work place. Fear-based advertising insinuating that sitting is the health equivalent of smoking has pervaded many work environments. As workers want to remain healthy and pain free, and employers want and need a healthy workforce, it appears that there is a pervasive trend of avoiding sitting as often as possible. Because work tasks that call for an extensive amount of sitting are often times computer-based, this 'standing is healthy' fad is most notably presenting itself at computer-based work stations. The understandably perceived simple fix to the dilemma of sitting, has been the introduction of the sit-stand desk. However, before we all throw out our chairs, it is important to discuss the past and recent research that indicates that prolonged standing can also have detrimental effects on the human system. It is crucial that we expand our idea of a healthy work environment to one that facilitates movement and change in position and empowers the worker to understand their role in their own musculoskeletal and physiological health and wellness, beyond the use of equipment. If we can replace the phrase, 'sitting is the new smoking' with the phrase, 'sedentary is the new smoking', then we can elucidate the idea of what a healthy computer-based work environment and routine would be.
