在现代化的办公楼中进行了一系列尼古丁蒸汽和颗粒浓度的测量。测量计划旨在记录新的吸烟政策（例如，限制在特定区域吸烟）对建筑物各部分空气质量的影响。在30多个地点进行的测量检查了限制吸烟、允许吸烟以及空气处理器分担指定吸烟区负荷的区域。这些测量是在政策实施前后在同一地点进行的。测量结果表明：在政策实施后，大多数楼层的一般员工暴露于尼古丁蒸汽（作为所有环境烟草烟雾的替代品）减少了约98%。本文还描述了与指定吸烟区溢出和指定吸烟区本身变化有关的其他模式。即使在政策实施后浓度最高的一般办公室区域，暴露于尼古丁蒸汽的情况也大幅减少。
A series of measurements of nicotine vapor and particle concentrations were carried out in a modern office building. The measurement program was designed to document the impact of the new smoking policy (e.g. smoking restricted to specific areas) an air quality in various parts of the building. Measurements at over 30 locations examined areas where smoking was restricted, where smoking was permitted, and where an air handler shared the load of a designated smoking area. These measurements were taken at the same locations before and after the policy was implemented. The measurement results indicated that: after the policy was implemented, general employee exposure to nicotine vapor (as a surrogate for all enviromental tobacco smoke) was reduced by about 98 percent on most floors. Other patterns related to spillover from designated smoking areas and chanes in the designated smoking areas themselves are described in this paper. Substantial reductions in exposure to nicotine vapor were found even for those general office areas which had the highest concentrations after the policy was implemented.
