title: Worksite smoking control, discouragement, and cessation.
abstract: Smoking control, discouragement, and cessation were investigated at three comparable chemical plants. One plant was randomly assigned to smoking cessation only while the other two plants were assigned to a comprehensive program of smoking control, discouragement, and cessation. Three weeks later, smoking cessation was provided at all three sites. Results are consistent with a previous investigation of the comprehensive program carried out at two oil refineries. Not only was there a greater rate of participation in the smoking cessation program with the comprehensive program, 4 months after completion of smoking cessation treatment revealed significant changes on all outcome variables in the expected direction and suggest the superiority of a comprehensive program of smoking control, discouragement, and cessation over cessation alone.
