    Workplace smoking cessation programs show success with individual support like counseling and nicotine replacement therapy. Workplace-wide tobacco bans reduce smoking during work hours, but overall effectiveness varies.

    Area of Science:

    • Occupational Health
    • Public Health
    • Behavioral Science

    Background:

    • Workplaces offer a unique setting to reach large populations for smoking cessation initiatives.
    • Identifying effective workplace interventions is crucial for public health strategies.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To categorize workplace smoking cessation interventions evaluated in controlled studies.
    • To assess the effectiveness of these interventions in helping workers quit smoking or reduce tobacco consumption.

    Main Methods:

    • Systematic review of controlled studies including randomized controlled trials, controlled trials with baseline/post-intervention outcomes, and interrupted time series studies.
    • Interventions were categorized into individual-focused and workplace-wide approaches.
    • Qualitative narrative synthesis was used due to study heterogeneity.

    Main Results:

    • Individual-focused interventions (group therapy, counseling, nicotine replacement therapy) effectively increased smoking cessation rates.
    • Workplace-wide tobacco bans reduced smoking during work hours, but impact on overall consumption was uncertain.
    • Incentives increased attempts to quit, but evidence for increased actual quitting was limited.
    • Comprehensive programs and social/environmental support showed limited evidence of reducing smoking prevalence.

    Conclusions:

    • Individual-based interventions, including counseling and pharmacotherapy, are effective for smoking cessation in the workplace.
    • Workplace tobacco policies and bans can decrease smoking during work hours and reduce secondhand smoke exposure.
    • Evidence for the effectiveness of comprehensive workplace programs and incentives in reducing overall smoking prevalence is limited.
    • Further research is needed on the cost-effectiveness of workplace smoking cessation programs.
