The introduction of workplace smoking bans has resulted in smokers smoking outside their workplaces (exiled smoking). Social identity theory postulates that this may cause antagonism between smokers and non-smokers, or where non-smokers were friends with smokers, pressure on non-smokers to smoke, This study examines perceptions and beliefs about exiled smoking in 166 non-smoking workers, They saw smokers as having a work benefit not available to them, but otherwise they were ally not drawn to the activity, Half had joined smokers outside for breaks, but of these only one-third had ever smoked. Those who smoked reported that they did not have a regular pattern of joining the same group of smokers, Although it may provide a conduit for susceptible non-smokers to take up smoking; exiled smoking does not appear to influence those who are not otherwise vulnerable.
