A random sample of employees was surveyed 20 months after a non-smoking policy was implemented at the New England Telephone Company in 1986. Overall, 21 percent of respondents who were smoking at the time they heard about the policy had quit smoking; 42 percent of quitters said they stopped smoking because of the policy. Cessation was highest among those who reported less smoke in their work area, but was not related to participation in cessation programs. This study suggests that worksite nonsmoking policies may have favorable effects on smoking cessation.
1986年新英格兰电话公司实施禁烟政策20个月后，对员工进行了随机抽样调查。总体而言，在听说该政策时仍在吸烟的受访者中，21%已经戒烟；42%的戒烟者表示他们是因为该政策而戒烟的。在报告工作区域烟雾较少的人中戒烟率最高，但与参加戒烟项目无关。这项研究表明，工作场所的禁烟政策可能对戒烟有积极影响。
