Smoke Free Work Places Better than Taxation
'Smoke-free work place' better than taxation say Researchers“Smoking kills” is no longer a myth. Scientific research has also shown that those who don’t smoke can get ill and die from effects of tobacco smoke. A team of researchers led by Professor SA Glantz from the Centre for Tobacco Control Research and Education at the University of California, San Francisco, has reviewed several scientific studies on effects of smoke-free work places on smoking behaviour. They concluded that 'Smoke-free workplaces' not only protect non-smokers from the dangers of breathing in other people’s smoke; such places if enforced also encourage smokers to quit or reduce consumption. Their research was published in the July 27th 2002 issue of the British Medical Journal. They found that implementing smoke free work places led to 4 out of every 100 smokers reducing the amount they smoked. The reviewers looked at effectiveness of various means of containing the problem of smoking in the population. They compared effectiveness of totally smoke-free workplaces versus smoke-free areas, effects of legislation including increasing taxes, and effects of smoke-free workplaces and clean air legislation on teenagers.
