Abstract
A rumble went through the Boeing Company in April 1984 when it announced a policy of progressive work-site smoking restrictions eventually culminating in a total ban on smoking in all Boeing facilities. With this announcement, the 83,000-employee aerospace giant became the largest U.S. employer to make a commitment to a smoke-free work place.Boeing is not alone in its decision to institute a no-smoking policy in its workplace. Many other employers are learning that smoke in the corporate environment has an impact far beyond the lungs of smoking employees. The motivation for policy development can come from four areas: legislation, litigation, cost containment, and workplace health and safety.
