Methods: Hair nicotine, self-reported exposure to SHS, and respiratory symptoms were assessed on 105 smoking and nonsmoking workers from randomly selected establishments in Lexington, Kentucky. Thirty-eight percent were current smokers with more than half smoking 10 or fewer cigarettes per day. Workers provided a hair sample at baseline and at the 3-month interview. Results: There was a significant decline in hair nicotine 3 months postlaw when controlling for cigarettes smoked per day. Bar workers showed a significantly larger decline in hair nicotine compared with restaurant workers. The only significant decline in SHS exposure was in the workplace and other public places. Regardless of smoking status, respiratory symptoms declined significantly postlaw. Conclusions: Hospitality workers demonstrated significant declines in hair nicotine and respiratory symptoms after the law. Comprehensive smoke-free laws can provide the greatest protection to bar workers who are the most vulnerable to SHS exposure at work.  Disponible dans la bibliothèque virtuelle.

Respirable particles and carcinogens in the air of Delaware hospitality venues before and after a smoking ban / James Repace (2004)

Public Titre : Respirable particles and carcinogens in the air of Delaware hospitality venues before and after a smoking ban Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : James Repace, Auteur Editeur : American College of Occupational and Environmental Medicine Année de publication : 2004 Collection : Journal of Occupational & Environmental Medicine num. 46 Importance : p.887-905 Langues : Français (fre) Catégories : [TABAC] chimie du tabac:substance toxique [TABAC] législation:législation antitabac:interdiction de fumer Index. décimale : TA 7.3 Marqueurs Résumé : How do the concentrations of indoor air pollutants known to increase risk of respiratory disease, cancer, heart disease, and stroke change after a smoke-free workplace law? Real-time measurements were made of respirable particle (RSP) air pollution and particulate polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PPAH), in a casino, six bars, and a pool hall before and after a smoking ban. Secondhand smoke contributed 90% to 95% of the RSP air pollution during smoking, and 85% to 95% of the carcinogenic PPAH, greatly exceeding levels of these contaminants encountered on major truck highways and polluted city streets. This air-quality survey demonstrates conclusively that the health of hospitality workers and patrons is endangered by tobacco smoke pollution. Smoke-free workplace laws eliminate that hazard and provide health protection impossible to achieve through ventilation or air cleaning.
