Trends in the prevalence and factors associated with indoor smoking in 24 countries Party to the WHO FCTC: implications for equitable policy implementation
This study demonstrated that prevalence of daily indoor smoking was associated with low socioeconomic status. Reducing SHS exposure is critical, including addressing inequities to help improve health outcomes. Currently, over 2.8 billion people in low-income countries are not protected by smoke-free environment laws, and only 18% of the world's population is covered by strong restrictions on tobacco marketing.
