[Smoking and prevention at the work site].

Risk factors for smoking are seduction of apprentices, but also work monotony, stress and indolence. Model prevention programs for workers proved to be effective in combining individual (smoking, nutrition, blood pressure) and occupational risk reduction. A smoking cessation program at the workplace is a group dynamic process and has to include the protection of nonsmokers from ETS. With a new workers protection law Austria has started to improve the protection of nonsmokers at the workplace according to the EEA treaty.
