摘要

Sitting is not really the new smoking - it doesn't pass on any secondary effects, and employees often cannot control how long they sit in the working environment. But that aside, office desk sitting is becoming one of the largest factors and strongest messages in the fight for healthier workplace surroundings. While recent headlines have been screaming about 'sitting is the new smoking', the theory has been criticised by some as just "another way to control us", or "pushed by the creators of office furniture", and the lack of published scientific research on the matter has certainly hindered any real progress.
