Compliance with smoke-free laws in hospitality venues in Ethiopia: A cross-sectional observational study in 10 cities
Compliance with 'no active smoking' and adherence to smoke-free laws in HVs remain low, particularly in bars, nightclubs/lounges, and Semera-Logia, with high rates of active smoking both indoors and outdoors. Enhanced enforcement and targeted are needed to educate the public and HV owners about the risks of SHS and the importance of tobacco control laws.
