Hospital smoking policies in Victoria: no improvement since 1980.
A study of 132 hospitals in Victoria, of size 50 beds or more, was carried out during 1983 in order to find out their smoking policies so that assistance could be given to the Health Commission of Victoria in formulating policies about smoking in hospitals. The results were not encouraging; there had been no significant improvement in attitudes towards smoking or in non-smoking policies since a comparable study was carried out in 1980, indicating that there is much work to be done within hospitals in this field.
