| Résumé : | [BDSP. Notice produite par INIST aF5HbR0x. Diffusion soumise à autorisation]. Objectives. The effect of local workplace smoking laws in California was assessed to determine whether such laws increase smoking cessation. Methods. Workplace smoking ordinance data from 1990 were appended to 1990 California Tobacco Survey data from 4680 adult indoor workers who were current cigarette smokers or reported smoking in the 6 months before the survey. Ordinance effects on cigarette smoking ad worksite policy were estimated by using multiple logistic regression controlling for sociodemographic variables. Results. Smokers who worked in localities with a strong workplace ordinance (compared with no workplace ordinance) were more likely to report the existence of a worksite smoking policy (odds ration [OR]=1.6 ; 95% confidence interval [CI]=1.2 ; 2.2) and to report quitting smoking in the prior 6 months (OR=1.5 ; 95% CI=1.1,1.7). In communities with stron ordinances, an estimated 26.4% of smokers quit smoking within 6 months of the survey and were abstinent at the time of the survey, compared with an estimated 19.1% in communities with no ordinance. Conclusions. Workplace smoking ordinances increased smoking cessation among employed smokers, indicating that these laws may benefit smokers as well as nonsmokers. |
