[Environmental tobacco smoke (ETS) at the workplace: considerations about a survey carried out in a pharmaceutical industry].
A survey was carried out in a pharmaceutical industry, in order to know the exposure to environmental tobacco smoke (ETS) in the workplace, and attitudes of workers toward workplace smoking restrictions and bans. In the three plants of the industry (Bergamo, Milan, Reggello-Florence) workers were exposed to ETS in every workplace areas, except for the production area, even if there were no-smoking warning notices in the plants. Non-smokers were more favorable than smokers about the introduction of workplace restrictions on smoking. In order to decrease exposure to ETS, it would be desirable to develop workplace smoking restrictions or bans, effective and low-cost interventions.
