| Abstract |
The problem of the smoking habit and resulting mortality in Spain and elsewhere is discussed. The effects of smoking on absenteeism were studied in a large metallurgical plant in a random sample of 1,000 workers. 62% of the workers smoked; absenteeism was 2.15% higher in smokers; 41.7% of absences could be avoided if workers did not smoke; mortality was 30.28% higher in smokers. |
