Patterns, prevalence and determinants of environmental tobacco smoke exposure among adults in Bangladesh
2018, Addictive Behaviors ReportsCitation Excerpt :Making policies for 100% smoke-free environment is the most effective way to protect the public, including children, women, and people at their homes, workplaces, and public places from exposure to ETS. There is sufficient evidence that implementation of smoke free policies substantially decreases ETS exposure (Oberg et al., 2011; Pierce & Leon, 2008). Studies of the effects of the smoke-free policies consistently show that these policies decrease exposure to ETS by 80–90% in high exposure settings, and they can lead to overall decreases in exposure of up to 40% (Haw & Gruer, 2007).
Social norms and its correlates as a pathway to smoking among young Latino adults
2015, Social Science and MedicineCitation Excerpt :Further, aside from the population reached, smoking social norms remain important to study even under today's more regulated climate. As an example, while the causal role of any single policy change in decreasing smoking prevalence has not been conclusively demonstrated, it is clear that the combined effect of the public's awareness of the dangers of smoking, removal of cigarette advertising from television and billboards, state tobacco control funding, smoking bans in public places and increased sales taxation of cigarettes all played crucial roles in changing norms regarding the acceptability of smoking and ultimately smoking behaviors (Tauras et al., Feb 2005; Pierce and Leon, Jul 2008; Albers et al., Dec 2004), despite the fact that these initiatives were initially met with great resistance by the general public (Gutman, 2011; Walsh, 1981). Our study showed consistent associations between smoking norms specific to Latino populations and current smoking status, suggesting the need for future research to replicate these findings and corroborate whether this association systematically differs according to nativity status, length of residence in the US, and language spoken.
Private space second-hand smoke exposure and the mental health of non-smokers: A cross-sectional analysis of Canadian adults
2013, Addictive BehaviorsCitation Excerpt :The U.S. National Institutes of Health defines SHS as the smoke emitted from the burning end of a cigarette, cigar, or pipe, along with a smoker's exhaled smoke (U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, 2004; United States Environmental Protection Agency, 1992), and has been shown to have a detrimental effect on everyone exposed (California Environmental Protection Agency, & Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment, 1997; Charney, Heninger, & Breier, 1984; Dome, Lazary, Kalapos, & Rihmer, 2010; Law et al., 2003; Matt et al., 2004; United States Department of Health and Human Services, 2006). Recognition of the negative effects of SHS exposure has resulted in the development of policies aimed at reducing exposure (Asbridge, 2004; United States Department of Health and Human Services, 1986), typically through restrictions on smoking in public spaces (Hopkins et al., 2001; Pierce, León, & IARC Working Group, & IARC Secretariat, 2008). Nonetheless, many people are still exposed to SHS in the home, vehicle, and other private and public locations (Leatherdale & Ahmed, 2009).
