Blowing smoke: strategies smokers use to protect non-smokers from environmental tobacco smoke in the home

Abstract

Issue addressed: Research has suggested that many smokers wish to protect the non-smokers they live with, particularly children, from exposure to their tobacco smoke. This study investigates the strategies smokers use to protect non-smokers from exposure to tobacco smoke in their homes, how effective they perceive these strategies to be, and what they perceive as obstacles to making their homes smoke-free.
