Title: Tobacco Use Prevention and Cessation Policies in Manufacturing Facilities in the Tobacco-Growing State of Kentucky Author(s): Ellen J. Hahn, Mary Kay Rayens, Chizimuzo T. C. Okoli, Kathy Love, Sanggil Kim Publication: American Journal of Health Promotion, Jan/Feb 2004, V18, I3, 225 Keyword(s): Smoking Policy, Smoking Cessation, Workplace, Tobacco Control Inbrief: Telephone interviews were conducted with 437 human resource managers in manufacturing facilities in Kentucky to determine tobacco use prevention and cessation policies. Only 43% banned indoor smoking, 26% provided health plan reimbursement for cessation treatments, and 21% provided tobacco use education. Unionized companies were 2.2 times more likely to support cessation efforts but 2.4 times more likely to allow employees to smoke, and 6.3 times more likely to sell cigarettes on site. Large companies were 2.6 times as likely to have a written smoking policy, and 3.0 times more likely to have a tobacco use prevention program, but 4.4 times more likely to sell cigarettes on site.
