A quantum system which can tunnel, at T= 0, out of a metastable state and whose interaction with its environment is adequately described in the classically accessible region by a phenomenological friction coefficient η, is considered. By only assuming that the environment response is linear, it is found that dissipation multiplies the tunneling probability by the factor exp [− A η (Δ q) 2 ℏ], where Δ q is the" distance under the barrier" and A is a numerical factor which is generally of order unity.
