Smoking at Work? Even Smokers Support Bans

Workplace Buzz on November 18, 2009 11:17 AM

Even smokers support bans to prohibit lighting up in the workplace, according to a new survey. The international poll of nearly 5,000 people showed that nearly three-quarters of workers who smoke and 87% of employers support a smoke-free work environment. "Overall the results demonstrate global support for workplace smoking bans," said study author Michael Halpern. "This study shows support for additional programs and policies to increase those bans and assist employees with smoking cessation."
