TI - Stosunek Polaków do wprowadzenia całkowitego zakazu palenia we wszystkich miejscach publicznych AB - Attitude of Poles toward enforcement of complete smoking ban in all public places WHO Framework Convention on Tobacco Control recommends enforcement of strong smoke-free policy in public places and worksites. Many countries of European Union, cities and states of the Unites States of America, Canadian provinces and other countries worldwide have been effectively enforced comprehensive ban of smoking in public places and worksites. Follow up studies show health and social benefits of the smoke-free policy. However, its effective enforcement requires public support. This paper analyzes results of the 2006 nation-wide randomized survey on attitudes toward complete ban of smoking in public places and worksites in Poland. In Poland, public support for the enforcement of smoke-free legislation (76%), even very restrictive, belongs to the highest in European Union countries. Its effective enforcement is crucial for improvement of public health in Poland since over 8,700 deaths (including almost 2,000 deaths among non-smokers) in Poland are caused by passive exposure to tobacco smoke VL - 2009 IS - Tom 7, Numer 2 PY - 2009 SN - 1731-7398 C1 - 2084-2627 SP - 86 EP - 90 UR - https://ejournals.eu/czasopismo/zdrowie-publiczne-i-zarzadzanie/artykul/stosunek-polakow-do-wprowadzenia-calkowitego-zakazu-palenia-we-wszystkich-miejscach-publicznych KW - smoking ban KW - public places in Poland KW - opinions
