[Smoking in industry--a controversial topic of prevention]
Abstract:
The realization that smoking is not only harmful to the health of the smoker but also to that of his environment, polarizes smokers and non-smokers. This can give rise to an explosive atmosphere of possible conflicts especially at the place of work. Non-smokers expect from the company doctor--not without some justification--to support their interests. However, it cannot be his obligation to make things worse by going all out in favour of the non-smokers, because he also wants to be listened to by the smokers. The article deals with this delicate problem. It also discusses as to whether the company can be enlisted for support in case of a wish to stop smoking. In this regard it is essential to find out how company-sponsored courses to stop smoking are assessed.
