估计工作场所吸烟限制的影响，所有室内工人和各种人口和行业groups. Design详细的工人自我报告的特征，吸烟史，和工作场所吸烟政策的横截面数据的流行和吸烟强度的影响，在多变量统计模型中使用，以检查工作场所吸烟政策是否减少香烟消费。在分析了政策的分布之后，确定了四种主要类型的工作场所方案：（1）100%无烟环境，（2）工作区禁止在某些公共区域吸烟，（3）在某些但不是所有工作和公共区域禁止吸烟，（4）最低限度或更少的限制。设置-在20世纪80年代中期环境烟草烟雾被确定为健康危害后，工作场所的吸烟限制变得更加普遍。到1993年，近82%的室内工作者面临着工作场所吸烟的一些限制，47%的人在100%无烟环境中工作。1993年5月和1993年5月对97882名非自营职业的室内工作者进行的现行人口调查。主要结果指标-吸烟者的吸烟率和每日吸烟的香烟数量。结果-吸烟率为100%-自由工作场所使吸烟率降低了6个百分点，吸烟者的平均每日消费量比受到最低限度限制或没有限制的工人减少了14%。通过允许在一些公共区域吸烟，减少了工作区域禁令的影响。无烟政策减少了吸烟的所有人口群体和几乎所有industries. Conclusions，要求所有的工作场所都是无烟将减少吸烟率的10%。工作场所禁令对吸烟率最高的群体影响最大。
Objective-To estimate the impact of workplace smoking restrictions on the prevalence and intensity of smoking among all indoor workers and various demographic and industry groups.Design-Detailed cross sectional data on worker self reported characteristics, smoking histories, and workplace smoking policies were used in multivariate statistical models to examine whether workplace smoking policies reduce cigarette consumption. After analysing the distribution of policies, four main types of workplace programme were defined: (1) 100% smoke-free environments, (2) work area bans in which smoking is allowed in some common areas, (3) bans in some but not all work and common areas, and (4) minimal or mo restrictions.Setting-After environmental tobacco smoke was identified as a health hazard in the mid-1980s, workplace smoking restrictions became more prevalent. By 1993, nearly 82% of indoor workers faced some restriction on workplace smoking and 47% worked in 100% smoke-free environments.Participants-The database included a nationally representative sample from the tobacco use supplements to the September 1992, January 1993, and May 1993 Current Population Surveys of 97 882 indoor workers who were not self employed.Main outcome measures-Prevalence of smoking and number of cigarettes smoked daily by smokers.Results-Having a 100% smoke-free workplace reduced smoking prevalence by 6 percentage points and average daily consumption among smokers by 14% relative to workers subject to minimal or no restrictions. The impact of work area bans was lessened by allowing smoking in some common areas. Smoke-free policies reduced smoking for all demographic groups and in nearly all industries.Conclusions-Requiring all workplaces to be smoke free would reduce smoking prevalence by 10%. Workplace bans have their greatest impact on groups with the highest rates of smoking.
