- Abstract
The article presents a study on the changes in exposure to environmental tobacco smoke, as well as symptoms and attitudes among the workers in Sweden after the implementation of smoke-free law. Exposure to tobacco smoke, smoking habits, respiratory and sensory symptoms, and attitudes towards the ban of various workers were recorded. Spirometry was done. Results show that smoke-free law was associated with the substantial reduction in the symptoms and in the reduced exposure to tobacco smoke.
