The Problem
Environmental tobacco smoke (ETS) - sometimes called "second-hand smoke" -exposes employees (both smokers and non-smokers) to several thousandchemicals, including over 40 chemicals that are known to cause cancer.
ETS increases your risk for heart disease, a variety of cancers andrespiratory diseases such as bronchitis.
Every year exposure to ETS causes between 1,100 and 7,800 deaths inCanada, at least one-third of them in Ontario.
Exposure to ETS aggravates asthma and allergies and irritates the eyes,nose, throat and lungs.
Approximately 80 percent of a non-smoker's exposure to ETS happens at work.
The Solution
Smoke-free workplace policies protect the health of all employees byeliminating or restricting exposure to ETS.
Ninety percent of Ontario workers - including 70 percent who smoke -support smoke-free work environments that protect health.
Smoke-free workplace policies help people who smoke to cut down or quit.
They also help former smokers stay smoke-free.
What You Can Do
Focus on tobacco, not on people who smoke.
Support friends at work who want to cut down or quit.
Find out more about ETS and workplace policies.
