研究目的：多项研究发现，与其他环境中的员工相比，酒吧和餐馆的员工暴露在高水平的二手烟中，使他们面临更高的健康并发症风险。在这些酒吧员工中，有许多社会经济地位较低的女性。无烟工作场所条例已经扩展到美国各城市和州的酒吧和餐馆；然而，一些酒吧仍然不符合这些法律。本研究的目的是评估酒吧调酒师性别与无烟工作场所遵从性之间的关系。设计：通过对121家随机抽取的酒吧的无烟工作场所政策遵从性观察数据的分析，以及对酒吧调酒师和酒吧顾客的半结构化访谈的定性数据。背景：旧金山县酒吧。主要结果：本研究的结果表明，无烟政策的不遵守与酒吧中女性为调酒师的酒吧有关，与男性调酒师相比，她们的烟草暴露更多。在采访中，虽然一些女调酒师表达了对无烟条例的矛盾情绪，但也有许多人描述了当她们工作的酒吧可以消除室内吸烟时，她们体验到了积极的健康和社会后果。结论：本文的分析揭示了通过将强有力的无烟工作场所政策推广到所有工作场所，改善低SES女调酒师工作环境的好处。
Study objective: Multiple studies have found that, compared with employees in other settings, workers in bars and restaurants have been exposed to high levels of secondhand smoke, putting them at increased risk for health complications. Among these bar employees are many women of low socioeconomic status (SES). Smoke free workplace ordinances have been extended to bars and restaurants in cities and states throughout the USA; some bars, however, continue to be out of compliance with these laws. The objective of this study is to assess the relation between bartender gender and smoke free workplace compliance in bars.Design: This paper reports on analyses of observational data on compliance with smoke free workplace policy in 121 randomly selected bars together with qualitative data from semi-structured interviews with bartenders and patrons in bars.Setting: San Francisco County bars.Main results: Findings from this research showed that smoke free policy non-compliance was associated with bars in which women were bartenders, increasing their tobacco exposure compared with male bartenders. In interviews, although some female bartenders expressed ambivalence toward the smoke free ordinance, many others described experiencing positive health and social consequences when the bars in which they worked could eliminate interior smoking.Conclusions: The analyses presented here shed light on the benefits of improving the workplace environment for low SES female bartenders through the extension of strong smoke free workplace policies to all workplaces, including bars.
