背景与烟草有关的基于职业的持续和不断增长的差距构成了严重的公共卫生挑战。烟草对从事工人阶级职业的个人造成了不成比例的损失，因为这些工人的吸烟率和二手烟暴露率高于其他人。方法我们概述了可能有助于减少这些差异的最新进展，包括成功的社会背景干预模型的研究结果，该模型将戒烟和职业健康与安全相结合，一个新的国家努力联系工会和烟草控制组织围绕他们的共同利益，减少烟草对工人健康的威胁。结论这些努力对未来的研究和行动的影响进行了讨论。(C)2004 Wiley-Liss，Inc.
Background Persistent and growing occupation-based disparities related to tobacco pose a serious public health challenge. Tobacco exacts a disproportionate toll on individuals employed in working class occupations, due to higher prevalence of smoking and exposure to secondhand smoke among these workers compared to others.Methods We provide an overview of recent advances that may help to reduce these disparities, including research findings on a successful social contextual intervention model that integrates smoking cessation and occupational health and safety, and a new national effort to link labor unions and tobacco control organizations around their shared interest in reducing tobacco's threat to workers' health.Conclusions Implications of these efforts for future research and action are discussed.
