The effect of smoking prohibition on smoking behavior in the workplace
Introduction: The one of the most important risk factors for the development of chronic diseases are tobacco use. Whereas tobacco use is a risk factor that can prevent. We planned to investigate the contribution of the working environment in the elimination of this habit.
Methods: After the approval of 292 people working in a public workplace, a 29-question questionnaire was applied.
Results: There was no significant relationship between smoking habits and income level. The use of tobacco was higher in people with low and educational level (p.0.01) and men gender (p.0.001). Decreased after 40 years (p:0.01) there was a significant difference between the office environment and the outdoor environment (p: 0.001).
Conclusion: It was concluded that the workplace environment was an appropriate target area in the fight against smoking habit.
