The right to clean air in public places (RCA) is a useful indicator of health consciousness. We surveyed the life style and consciousness towards RCA among employees working at the head office of a major company in Osaka, and examined the relationship between life style and knowledge aspect of RCA, one of the three aspects of consciousness towards RCA. Knowledge on laws concerning smoking regulations in public places was classified into two categories. One was knowledge on laws concerning general matters and the other was knowledge on laws concerning concrete and specific matters. Therefore, there are two kinds of relationship; the relationship between life style and knowledge on laws concerning general matters and the relationship between life style and knowledge on laws concerning concrete matters. These two relationships were examined with statistical procedures. Mean scores of knowledge on laws of subgroups divided by HPI score (POOR, MODERATE and GOOD) within groups divided by age and sex ("M. smoker," "M. nonsmoker" and "F. nonsmoker") were compared by t-test. Life style related to knowledge score was checked by correlation coefficient. The following results were obtained. (1) Relationship between life style and knowledge on laws concerning general matters Knowledge scores and their age-adjusted scores of MODERATE groups were the lowest among the 3 groups ("M. smoker," "M. nonsmoker," "F. nonsmoker"). This set of questions was designed to measure the knowledge level on laws concerning general matters. One would have abundant knowledge if one is health-conscious. In other words, those who do many things beneficial to physical health and have a high HPI have a wealth of knowledge on laws concerning smoking regulations on general matters. In the case of the employees, MODERATE groups were less health-oriented than others ("POOR," "GOOD") within the 3 groups ("M. smoker," "M. nonsmoker," "F. nonsmoker"). (2) Relationship between life style and knowledge on laws concerning concrete matters This set of questions was designed to measure the knowledge on laws concerning concrete and specific matters. To attain high scores, it is necessary to have more smoking experiences in various types of indoor places. POOR group of "M. smoker" and MODERATE groups of "M. nonsmoker" and "F. nonsmoker" had high knowledge scores. They were considered to have greater opportunities to visit public places where smoking is permitted (for example, bars) irrespective of their smoking status.
公共场所清洁空气权（RCA）是健康意识的一个有用指标。我们对大阪一家大公司总部的员工的生活方式和对RCA的意识进行了调查，并研究了生活方式与RCA意识的三个方面之一即RCA知识方面之间的关系。关于公共场所吸烟规定的法律知识分为两类。一类是关于一般事项的法律知识，另一类是关于具体和特定事项的法律知识。因此，存在两种关系：生活方式与关于一般事项的法律知识之间的关系以及生活方式与关于具体事项的法律知识之间的关系。通过统计程序对这两种关系进行了研究。通过t检验比较了按年龄和性别划分的组（“男性吸烟者”、“男性非吸烟者”和“女性非吸烟者”）中按HPI得分（差、中、好）划分的亚组的法律知识平均得分。通过相关系数检查与知识得分相关的生活方式。得到了以下结果。（1）生活方式与关于一般事项的法律知识之间的关系 在三组（“男性吸烟者”、“男性非吸烟者”、“女性非吸烟者”）中，中等组的知识得分及其年龄调整得分是最低的。这组问题旨在衡量关于一般事项的法律知识水平。如果一个人有健康意识，就会有丰富的知识。换句话说，那些做很多对身体健康有益的事情且HPI较高的人对关于一般事项的吸烟规定的法律有丰富的知识。就员工而言，在三组（“男性吸烟者”、“男性非吸烟者”、“女性非吸烟者”）中，中等组比其他组（“差”、“好”）对健康的关注度更低。（2）生活方式与关于具体事项的法律知识之间的关系 这组问题旨在衡量关于具体和特定事项的法律知识。要获得高分，需要在各种类型的室内场所拥有更多吸烟经历。“男性吸烟者”的差组以及“男性非吸烟者”和“女性非吸烟者”的中等组有较高的知识得分。无论他们的吸烟状况如何，他们被认为有更多机会去允许吸烟的公共场所（例如酒吧）。
