• Description:
  "The adverse health effects of tobacco use in the workplace are discussed. Six modes of interaction are described: toxic agents in the tobacco may also exist in the workplace; tobacco smoke may transform workplace chemicals into more harmful agents; tobacco products may act as vectors for toxic workplace agents; smoking may produce additive biological effects with agents in the workplace; smoking may act synergistically with agents in the workplace; and smoking may contribute to workplace accidents. Research considerations and recommendations are included. The author suggests that use of tobacco in the workplace be restricted." - NIOSHTIC-2
