U.S. bans on smoking begin to arouse interest worldwide
Article Abstract:
The increased concern about smoking in the workplace in the U.S. has resulted in bans on smoking in many work situations, and the trend that started in the U.S. appears to be spreading to other parts of the world, particularly Western Europe and Japan. The three primary areas of concern related to smoking on the job are the effects on the smoker's health, the effects on the health of those in proximity to the smoker, and the effects of smoking on the job on the worker's productivity, the last rarely considered outside the U.S. Sweden appears to be closer to a smoking ban in the workplace than any other European nation, and a foundation for non-smoking legislation has been established in Finland.
