“…Therefore, further studies must be conducted to identify the environmental factors in the workplace that are related to the intention to quit smoking among female smokers in Korea who face smoking-related social stigma. In a previous study on workplace smoking cessation programs, the establishment of a healthy working environment and health promotion programs during the break time of female workers in call-centers with a high smoking rate significantly reduced the smoking rate [ 45 ]. Therefore, based on the effects of workplace smoking cessation programs [ 45 , 46 ], desirable health promotion behaviors need to be promoted through active smoking cessation treatment programs for female workers who smoke.…”

Although the smoking rate among women has been continuously increasing recently, it is very difficult to explore the actual situation because of negative social views. This study aimed to analyze the effects of smoking awareness and living environment on the intention to quit smoking among female smokers. After receiving approval from the Research Ethics Committee in September 2021, secondary data analysis was performed for this study. A total of 378 working women who smoked were included in this study. The mean age was 34.4 years. The results showed that women living alone had significantly lower intentions to quit smoking, and women with experience in smoking cessation education had significantly higher intentions to quit smoking. In addition, it was found that the group having awareness of smoking cessation policy and smoking cessation treatment had high intention to quit smoking. As a result of the analysis of decision trees using data mining techniques, the strongest predictor of the intention of female workers who smoke to quit smoking was their perception of smoking cessation policies. In addition, it was found that the state’s policy support was important in that the group with the highest intention to quit smoking was the one with high awareness of both the smoking cessation policy and smoking cessation treatment. Finally, the risk group with the lowest intention to quit smoking was the group with low awareness of the anti-smoking policy, living alone, and having low awareness of the harmfulness of cigarettes. The importance of establishing policies for this vulnerable group, smoking cessation policies and treatment of female smokers, and improving awareness of the harmful effects of tobacco are discussed.

ObjectivesThis study conducted to investigate work-related factors in relation to smoking among women working in call centers in Gwangju, South Korea.MethodsFrom 56 call centers (7320 employees), we selected 10 and conducted a survey using a structured questionnaire by randomly selecting 10% of workers from each center. A total of 387 subjects participated in this survey We analyzed for 375 respondents, after excluding men and those with missing responses. We analyzed the relationships of work-related factors such as emotional labor, workplace violence, employment type, annual salary, working hours, employment period with smoking, using multiple logistic regression analysis. Emotional labor and workplace violence were measured using the Korean Emotional Labor Scale (K-ELS) and Korean Workplace Violence Scale (K-WVS).ResultsThe prevalence of current smoking among call center female workers was 13.6%. Univariate analysis showed that “Emotional disharmony and hurt”, “Experience of psychological and sexual violence from supervisors and co-workers” among items of K-ELS and K-WVS, working hours, annual salary correlated with smoking. After adjusting for emotional labor, workplace violence, employment type, annual salary, working hours, employment period, and age, only working hours show a significant association with smoking. Women who worked 40–49 h had 3.50 times (95% CI = 1.04–11.80) and worked more than 50 h had 8.68 times (95% CI = 1.89–39.78) greater odds of smoking as compared with women who worked less than 40 h.ConclusionsSmoking was associated with working hours among female workers in call center. However, emotional labor and workplace violence did not show significant relationships with smoking.
