Purpose of the Study
The purpose of the study is to examine the ways in which business organizations have responded to concerns regarding the ill-effects of second-hand smoke in the workplace. Specifically, the purpose of the study is to determine how business managers perceive the problem of second-hand smoke and how they and their organizations have responded to this health concern. It has been theorized that employees who breathe in their co-workers cigarette smoke are significantly more at risk for the development of negative health conditions and significantly more likely to take sick leave than workers who are not exposed to workplace tobacco smoke (Second-hand smoke..., 2000)."
