From the Paper:

"From the perspective of business managers, ETS has become an issue of growing significance. A number of corporations in the United States have established policies that either limit or totally prohibit smoking in the workplace. They have done so in response to regulations issued by the EPA and the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), demands expressed by employees for a smoke-free environment, the escalating cost of health insurance and health care due to cigarette induced diseases, and other concerns regarding the potential property losses from fires, work productivity decline, and increased expense in ventilation facilities and maintenance."
