Pages

  229-234

Abstract

 Background: One of the requirements of the OSUN State SMOKE-FREE LEGISLATION is to ensure SMOKE-FREE enclosed and partially enclosed workplaces. This survey was conducted to assess the knowledge and attitude of workers in indoor bars, beer parlors and discotheques to SMOKE-FREE LEGISLATION in general and the OSUN State SMOKE-FREE law in particular.Methods: A convenience sampling of 36 hospitality centers was conducted. Interviewer-administered questionnaires were used to elicit responses about the objectives from non-smoking workers. The questionnaires had sections on knowledge of the OSUN State SMOKE-FREE law, attitude toward the law and SMOKE-FREE LEGISLATION in general and exposure to second-hand tobacco smoke by the workers. Questions were also asked about the second-hand tobacco smoking status of these workers. The data were analyzed using SPSS version 15.0.Results: We had 154 participants recruited into the study. There were 75 males (48.0%) and 79 females (52.0%). On the overall, respondents had a good knowledge of the effects of second-hand smoke on health (70.2%) with 75.0% of them being aware of the general SMOKE-FREE law and 67.3% being aware of the OSUN State SMOKE-FREE law although none of them had ever seen a copy of the law. A high proportion (60.0%) was in support of the OSUN SMOKE-FREE law although all of them think that the implementation of the law could reduce patronage and jeopardize their income. Attitude toward second-hand smoking was generally positive with 72.0% of them having no tolerance for second-hand tobacco smoke in their homes. Most participants (95.5%) had been exposed to tobacco smoke in the workplace within the past week.Conclusion: Despite the high level of awareness of the respondents about the dangers of second hand smoke and their positive attitude to SMOKE-FREE laws, nearly all were constantly being exposed to second hand smoke at work. This calls for policy level interventions to improve the implementation of the SMOKE-FREE law.
