n various countries, the problem of smoking is now considered because of the effects, which can lead to addiction and potentially harm health.Public health authorities have concluded that one solution that can be done to protect the public from active smokers is to issue a policy that requires public facilities to be completely smoke-free.The hospital is one of the public facilities that has been designated as a smoke-free area. However, the implementation and maintenance of a successful program based on a smoke-free hospital are still considered an ongoing challenge worldwide due to the deficient level of adherence. The low level of compliance with this smoke-free policy is also seen in other public facilities.The purpose of the literature review is to reviewthe status of the application of the non-Smoking Area policy, how this policy has succeeded in reducing smoking activity in hospitals, and what factors lead to such compliance in each country in the world.
