ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT: The purpose of this research was to execute the spatial separation of smoking areas and to perform and evaluate smoking cessation support and anti-smoking education at factory “A”, where sweeping anti-smoking measures have not been enforced. Health education was introduced, and through the cooperation of the Health and Safety Committee, a program for the separation of smoking areas was proposed. Through smoking cessation support and anti-smoking education as a part of general health education, and the creation of a designated smoking area, the workplace environment was improved. With the Health and Safety Committee playing a central role, it can be suggested that through the spatial separation of smoking areas and the execution of anti-smoking education, the workplace environment improved and the importance of anti-smoking was better understood by workers, which led to the creation of a comfortable workplace environment based on the ideology of health promotion.
