  • Behavioral Science
  • Public Health Interventions

Background:

  • Worksite smoking cessation programs are crucial for employee well-being.
  • Comparing comprehensive interventions with cessation-only approaches is vital for optimizing strategies.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the effectiveness of a comprehensive worksite smoking control program versus smoking cessation alone.
  • To compare employee smoking rates and abstinence using objective and subjective measures.

Main Methods:

  • Two comparable oil refineries were selected as research sites.
  • One site received a comprehensive program (control, discouragement, cessation); the other received cessation only.
  • Intervention included antismoking posters, banners, and group cessation sessions; outcomes measured via questionnaires and observations.

Main Results:

  • The comprehensive program group achieved a 5-month abstinence rate of 43%.
  • The smoking cessation-only group achieved a 5-month abstinence rate of 21%.
  • The comprehensive intervention demonstrated significantly higher smoking cessation effectiveness.

Conclusions:

  • Comprehensive worksite smoking control programs are more effective than cessation alone.
  • Integrated strategies incorporating control and discouragement enhance smoking cessation outcomes.
  • Workplace interventions can significantly improve employee smoking cessation rates.
