The realization that smoking is not only harmful to the health of the smoker but also to that of his environment, polarizes smokers and non-smokers. This can give rise to an explosive atmosphere of possible conflicts especially at the place of work. Non-smokers expect from the company doctor--not without some justification--to support their interests. However, it cannot be his obligation to make things worse by going all out in favour of the non-smokers, because he also wants to be listened to by the smokers. The article deals with this delicate problem. It also discusses as to whether the company can be enlisted for support in case of a wish to stop smoking. In this regard it is essential to find out how company-sponsored courses to stop smoking are assessed.
人们认识到吸烟不仅对吸烟者自身健康有害，还会危害其周围环境，这使得吸烟者和非吸烟者产生了两极分化。这可能会引发一种潜在冲突的紧张气氛，尤其是在工作场所。非吸烟者期望公司医生——这并非毫无道理——支持他们的利益。然而，公司医生没有义务通过全力支持非吸烟者而使情况变得更糟，因为他也希望吸烟者能听取他的意见。本文探讨了这个微妙的问题。它还讨论了如果有戒烟的意愿，公司是否可以提供支持。在这方面，关键是要了解公司赞助的戒烟课程的评估情况。
