The impact of workplace smoking restriction on smoker behavior is unclear. The objective of the present study was to investigate the association between workplace smoking restriction and smoker behavior characteristics using data of cross-sectional and longitudinal design.Smoking behaviors were compared among four municipal offices that have different restrictions on smoking. New introduction of smoking restriction was associated with a higher proportion of smokers who had quitted smoking during the study period and with higher proportion of heavy smokers who had reduced cigarette consumption. In an office where environmental tobacco smoke has been controlled by smoking restriction, smoking behaviors have been suppressed during the study period. In contrast, in another office where control of environmental tobacco smoke has been poor, cigarette consumption tended to increase.There was no significant difference in smoking prevalence and cigarette consumption among three types of smoking restriction policies. However, good observance to smoking rules and less exposure to environmental tobacco smoke were associated with reduced cigarette consumption and nicotine dependence.The present findings indicate that introduction of and observance to smoking restrictions in the workplace reduce cigarette consumption. Quitting smoking may only be associated with the new introduction of smoking restrictions. Future studies should evaluate multi-disciplinary approach against smoking in the workplace.

工作场所限制吸烟对吸烟者行为的影响尚不清楚。本研究的目的是利用横断面和纵向设计的数据来调查工作场所吸烟限制与吸烟者行为特征之间的关系。研究比较了四个不同禁烟措施的市政办公室的吸烟行为。新引入的吸烟限制与研究期间戒烟的吸烟者比例较高以及减少香烟消费量的重度吸烟者比例较高有关。在一个办公室里，环境中的烟草烟雾通过限制吸烟得到了控制，在研究期间，吸烟行为受到了抑制。相比之下，在另一个对环境烟草烟雾控制不力的办公室，香烟消费倾向于增加。三种限制吸烟政策在吸烟率和香烟消费量方面无显著差异。然而，严格遵守吸烟规则和较少接触环境中的烟草烟雾与减少香烟消费和尼古丁依赖有关。目前的研究结果表明，在工作场所实行和遵守吸烟限制可以减少香烟消费。戒烟可能只与新引入的吸烟限制有关。未来的研究应该评估在工作场所禁烟的多学科方法。
