“…This site visits further implies observational non-compliance level was high compared to the individual non-compliance level. The high level of observational non-compliance shown here was not consistent with different research findings reported in different countries [9, 14, 18]. The reason for the high proportion of observational non-compliance in the hospital premises may be due to the fact that Ethiopia has adapted WHO FCTC and lately entered into enforcement than the above two counties [12].…”

“…The reason for the high proportion of observational non-compliance in the hospital premises may be due to the fact that Ethiopia has adapted WHO FCTC and lately entered into enforcement than the above two counties [12]. However, the reason for a low proportion of the existence of cigarette butts in the current study is may be due to the low proportion of cigarette smoking staff than the above three studies [9, 14, 18]. Other reason may be attributable to the janitorial staff cleaning hospital areas during the morning time which couldn’t be observed while data collection.…”

“…Despite such clear messages, the effectiveness of smoking-related policy and intervention may inevitably depend on the knowledge, attitudes, practice and support of health care staff to this legislation. However, the main challenge to the implementation of this legislation is that they are inadequately enforced or lately entered into enforcement [9, 10].…”

BackgroundIn 2014, the Ethiopian government passed a new smoking legislation that banned smoking in public and workplaces including health care facilities. However, data’s on level of non-compliance and associated factors with non-compliance towards smoke-free legislation in hospital settings of the country has not been studied yet.MethodsHospital-based Cross-sectional study design triangulated with observational study was conducted in five hospitals. Data were collected through direct observation and interviews using checklist, structured and pre-tested questionnaires for observational study and survey of hospital employee respectively. Nine data collectors and one supervisor were involved in data collection. Three hundred fifty (350) health care staffs were interviewed. Fifteen (15) buildings were purposively observed for observational non-compliance in the selected hospitals. Data were entered by Epi Info and analyzed using SPSS version 21 software. Logistic regression was used to compute the crude and adjusted odds ratios for the factors affecting employee non-compliance with the legislation. A p-value of < 0.05 at 95% CI was considered to be statistically significant.ResultsAnti-smoking signs were absent from a high proportion of hospital areas (97% overall) although visible cigarette butts were generally not observed in most areas of the hospitals. Non-compliance level among health care staffs was 50(10.3%).Associated factors affecting to the non-compliance level of the staff were: being male (AOR = 5.89, p value = 0.001), having poor knowledge (AOR = 2.71, p-value = 0.022) and having Unfavorable attitudes (AOR = 6.15, p-value = 0.000).ConclusionsNon-compliance level was high and needs careful implementation for 100% smoke-free legislation in addressing knowledge and attitudes of health care staffs.

“…This state of non-compliance among hospitality venues has also been commonly found in other countries. 44–46 As there is a significant association between stringency of laws and levels of tobacco smoke pollution, 47 a strong and coordinated enforcement system is essential for compliance.…”

ObjectiveThis study evaluated knowledge, opinions and compliance related to Uganda’s comprehensive smoke-free law among hospitality venues in Kampala Uganda.DesignThis multi-method study presents cross-sectional findings of the extent of compliance in the early phase of Uganda’s comprehensive smoke-free law (2 months postimplementation; pre-enforcement).SettingBars, pubs and restaurants in Kampala Uganda.Procedure and participantsA two-stage stratified cluster sampling procedure was used to select hospitality sites stratified by all five divisions in Kampala. A total of 222 establishments were selected for the study. One hospitality representative from each of the visited sites agreed to take part in a face-to-face administered questionnaire. A subsample of hospitality venues were randomly selected for tobacco air quality testing (n=108). Data were collected between June and August 2016.Outcome measuresKnowledge and opinions of the smoke-free law among hospitality venue staff and owners. The level of compliance with the smoke-free law in hospitality venues through: (1) systematic objective observations (eg, active smoking, the presence of designated smoking areas, ‘no smoking’ signage) and (2) air quality by measuring the levels of tobacco particulate matter (PM2.5) in both indoor and outdoor venues.ResultsActive smoking was observed in 18% of venues, 31% had visible ‘no smoking’ signage and 47% had visible cigarette remains. Among interviewed respondents, 57% agreed that they had not been adequately informed about the smoke-free law; however, 90% were supportive of the ban. Nearly all respondents (97%) agreed that the law will protect workers’ health, but 32% believed that the law would cause financial losses at their establishment. Indoor PM2.5 levels were hazardous (267.6 µg/m3) in venues that allowed smoking and moderate (29.6 µg/m3) in smoke-free establishments.ConclusionsIn the early phase of Uganda’s smoke-free law, the level of compliance in hospitality venues settings in Kampala was suboptimal. Civil society and the media have strong potential to inform and educate the hospitality industry and smokers of the benefits and requirements of the smoke-free law.
