Abstract

A survey was conducted among the top managerial staff of the 243 public and private settings in Yerevan, Gyumri and Vanadzor (Armenia) in June-July, 2005. The research showed that support for implementation of tobacco-free worksite policy among public administrators and managers is very strong. In particular, 95% of the survey respondents supported smoking ban at health, educational and cultural institutions. Eighty one percent showed support for banning smoking in all state and private worksites. The number of employers who supported banning smoking in all state and private worksites was significantly higher among non-smokers than smokers. This document summarises study results and policy recommendations.
