The impact of a restrictive smoking policy on the behavior and attitudes of smokers and non-smokers was assessed by surveying random cross-sectional samples of hospital employees before, six months after and 12 months after the policy was implemented, and comparing responses with those of employees of a hospital with no restrictive policy. Effectiveness of policy implementation was also evaluated. Results indicated that the policy was well-publicized and was approved by virtually all the non-smokers and the majority of the smokers. Following implementation, employees in the smoking policy hospital were less likely to report being bothered by smoke at their work stations than were employees of the comparison hospital. Six months and one year after the policy change, smokers reported lower smoking rates while at work, although quit smoking rates and home smoking rates were similar in both hospitals.
通过对实施该政策前、实施后六个月和十二个月的医院员工随机横断面样本进行调查，并将调查结果与没有限制政策的医院员工的回答进行比较，评估了限制吸烟政策对吸烟者和非吸烟者行为及态度的影响。同时还评估了政策实施的有效性。结果表明，该政策得到了广泛宣传，几乎所有非吸烟者和大多数吸烟者都表示认可。实施该政策后，与对照医院的员工相比，实施吸烟政策医院的员工称在工作场所受到烟雾困扰的可能性更小。政策改变六个月和一年后，吸烟者报告称工作时的吸烟率有所下降，不过两家医院的戒烟率和在家吸烟率相似。
