Title Smoking restrictions [Sweden]
Bibliographic information National Swedish Board of Occupational Safety and Health, 171 84 Solna, Sweden, 25 Apr. 1983. 15p. 12 ref.
Abstract English translation of the original Swedish recommendations concerning restrictions on smoking on working premises and in personnel facilities, as well as on public premises and in outdoor spaces to which the general public has access. The recommendations include examples of measures which can be taken to limit the harmful effects of tobacco. The aim of these general recommendations is to provide an environment where nobody will be exposed unwillingly to discomfort or health hazards caused by smoking. The basic principle of the recommendations is that a smoker's desire to smoke should be overridden by other people's desire for a smokeless environment.
