Tobacco prevention in the workplace is a major area of action within the tobacco control measures, since a decisive impetus for social change can derive from the working environment. In 2002, the protection of non-smokers in the workplace became mandatory in Germany. Since then, the enforcement of the new law has been supported by a variety of organizations. However, recent surveys show that almost 20% of non-smoking employees are still exposed to tobacco smoke. Therefore, it is necessary to take stock regarding the enforcement of the law. For one million people who currently work in catering, the right for non-smokers' protection is limited as the law for non-smokers' protection at work includes an exception for bars and restaurants. Tobacco prevention in the workplace will not be complete until this exception does not apply anymore. Also, a general smoking ban in bars and restaurants would become constitutional through relevant laws. Whether the Bundesländer will agree on this ban is doubtful at the moment. The promotion of smoking cessation as a second decisive part in tobacco prevention in the workplace has not reached the desired importance in company measures. To increase the significance of smoking cessation in companies, further impetus is necessary.
职场烟草预防是烟草控制措施中的一个主要行动领域，因为社会变革的决定性推动力可能源自工作环境。2002年，德国 workplace强制实行对非吸烟者的保护。从那时起，新法律的实施得到了各种组织的支持。然而，最近的调查显示，近20%的非吸烟员工仍暴露在烟草烟雾中。因此，有必要对法律的实施情况进行评估。对于目前在餐饮行业工作的100万人来说，非吸烟者的保护权是有限的，因为工作场所非吸烟者保护法对酒吧和餐馆有例外规定。只有当这个例外不再适用时，职场烟草预防才算完整。此外，通过相关法律，酒吧和餐馆全面禁烟将符合宪法规定。目前尚不确定各州是否会就这项禁令达成一致。促进戒烟作为职场烟草预防的第二个决定性部分，在公司措施中尚未达到预期的重要性。为了提高公司中戒烟的重要性，还需要进一步的推动。
