\"\"\u25c6More than half have \u201cComplete smoker separation\u201d<\/strong>
\nAs the country is striving to reduce the impact of passive smoking, companies completely banning smoking from offices or separating smokers from non-smokers are on the rise.
\nAccording to Teikoku Databank\u2019s \u201cSurvey on smoke awareness in companies\u201d (Surveyed companies: 23,341 Replies: 10,212 Reply rate: 43.8%), companies who boast \u201ccomplete smoker separation\u201d (A separated properly ventilated area for smoking, or a smoking area placed outdoors) amount to 56.2%.
\nCompanies that completely ban smoking are 22.1%, companies who reported \u201cincomplete smoker separation\u201d are 10.0%, companies who reported \u201cno specific restriction on smoking\u201d are 7.3%, and \u201ctime related smoking restrictions\u201d are 3.4%.<\/p>\n

\u25c6There is a considerable gap depending on region and industry<\/strong>
\nRegistered efforts have been found vary greatly according to the region and industry of the company.
\nOf those companies who reported having a total ban on smoking, real estate (44.1%) was at the top, followed by finance (38.2%) and the service industry (33.2%).
\nThe least represented, showing the difference between industries, are agriculture\/forestry\/fisheries(11.3%), manufacture(11.7%), transportation and warehouses (14.0%) and construction(18.3%).
\nAs far as the regional differences; while most average from 15% to 19%, Southern Kanto (28.9%) and the Kinki region (23.6%) show increased numbers for metropolitan areas.<\/p>\n

\u25c6The influence of smoking ban legislation<\/strong>
\nAs the Tokyo Olympic Games approach, both the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare and local public entities are starting to regulate smoking bans via legislation.
\nWhen asked what influence they think that a law imposed complete smoking ban in companies would have, around 70% of survey participants replied that it would have no influence.
\nThose who replied \u201cIt would be beneficial\u201d (8.0%) were mostly represented by the education services industry (22.7%), while those who replied \u201cIt would be harmful\u201d were mostly represented, almost by half, by eating and drinking establishments (47.6%).<\/p>\n

\u25c6The continuing move towards smoking ban<\/strong>
\nThe country\u2019s effort in decreasing the number of smokers is expected to continue. While there are differences between industries, surely the influence will be widespread. We will need to pay attention to state and local regulations in the future as well.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
