| Abstract |
As part an anti-smoking drive, the Chilean government has implemented a programme entitled "Tobacco smoke-free environments". A technical guide first describes the damages caused by smoking, with emphasis on the risks to women, followed by prevention strategies for controlling smoking at the workplace and the approach for obtaining the accreditation of workplaces as being smoke-free environments. A directory lists 502 organizations and enterprises having publicly declared being "smoke-free", classified by region and locality. Smoke-free environments are signalled with a board on which it is written "breathe deeply". |
