Mainstream smoke is smoke directly inhaled by the smoker through a burning cigarette.
Exhaled mainstream smoke is smoke breathed out by the smoker.
Side-stream smoke is smoke that drifts from the burning end of a cigarette.
Smoking at Work
Smoking hazards at work is an issue that employers need to be aware of and deal with. The law states that smoking is only allowed in designated areas and employers need to make sure that their employees are aware of this and comply with the rules. Smoking at work is not just a health hazard for employees, but it can also be a fire hazard.
Exposure to Smoking
Exposure to passive smoke can be a significant work health and safety hazard. Exposure can produce symptoms of ill health, particularly for people with medical conditions (e.g. respiratory or cardiovascular). To manage this risk, all personnel should be protected from the hazards of passive smoking by ensuring all work areas (indoors and outdoors) are smoke-free, except areas specifically designated for smoking.
