To collect descriptive data on annoyance from environmental tobacco smoke (ETS), attitudes toward smoking at the workplace, and support for a no-smoking policy.
Survey of eight large companies in four sectors of Dutch industry.
A representative sample of smoking and non-smoking employees (n = 1480).
Thirty-five per cent of non-smoking employees felt it was "annoying" to "very annoying" when their colleagues smoked during worktime, and 78% thought a smoky work environment was harmful to their health. About two-thirds of non-smokers "sometimes" to "often" experienced annoyance from ETS at their workplace. The individual solution approach (no explicit policy) is not only rejected by most nonsmokers but also by many smokers. In three sectors of industry, there was much support among employees for a smoking ban except for work areas designated for smoking.
These results could encourage more companies to implement smoking restrictions and they may be used as reference data by companies wanting to develop effective no-smoking policies.
收集有关环境烟草烟雾（ETS）造成的烦恼、对工作场所吸烟的态度以及对无烟政策支持情况的描述性数据。
对荷兰工业四个部门的八家大公司进行调查。
吸烟和不吸烟员工的代表性样本（n = 1480）。
35%的不吸烟员工表示，当同事在工作时间吸烟时，他们感觉“烦恼”至“非常烦恼”，78%的人认为烟雾弥漫的工作环境对健康有害。约三分之二的不吸烟者在工作场所“有时”至“经常”受到ETS的困扰。个人解决办法（无明确政策）不仅遭到大多数不吸烟者反对，也遭到许多吸烟者反对。在三个工业部门，除指定吸烟区外，员工对全面禁烟的支持度很高。
这些结果可能会促使更多公司实施吸烟限制措施，也可供希望制定有效无烟政策的公司作为参考数据。
