College students can establish healthy lifestyle practices that can have lifelong implications. Many students, however, continue to engage in risky behaviors such as active and passive smoking. The purpose of this study was to test an explanatory model of variables which can influence health promotion behaviors in smoking and nonsmoking college students. Pender's Health Promotion Model provided the framework for the study. Health promotion behaviors were found to be most effective when students: had an increased self‐efficacy, avoided environmental tobacco smoke (ETS), perceived themselves as healthy, were female, and had a powerful external and internal health locus of control. College students may benefit from health promotion interventions designed to influence the avoidance of ETS and alter perceptions of self‐efficacy, control of health, and health status. Such interventions may result in a decrease in both active and passive smoking.

Exposure to environmental tobacco smoke (ETS) is a risk factor for asthma development and progression. ETS exposure among children takes place mainly in the home. This paper examines the relationship between household smoking restrictions, the level of ETS exposure, and the asthma status of a sample of 192 low-income Latino asthmatic children, living with at least one smoker. Families were recruited throughout San Diego County, California. Mothers were interviewed on use of smoking restriction policies, possible correlates of these policies, their children's ETS exposure, asthma morbidity, and use of medical care. The children's pulmonary function was also assessed. As compared with the lack of smoking restrictions, a total ban on smoking was associated with a significantly lower reported level of children's ETS exposure at home (p , 0.05), in the car (p , 0.05), and overall (p , 0.01). Multivariate analyses indicated that having a smoking ban was associated with less severe asthma symptoms (p , 0.05), less use of acute medical care during the last 2 weeks (p , 0.01), and higher forced vital capacity (FVC) (p , 0.05). These results suggest that the use of home policies may be a means by which Latino mothers can reduce ETS exposure and asthma morbidity among asthmatic children. The establishment of such policies should be promoted by health-care providers treating children with asthma, but these clinicians may need to "coach" mothers in how to persuade family and visitors not to smoke in the home.

Objective-To assess level of endorsement and expected consequences of worksite smoking restriction policies among correctional employees. Design-Mailed survey to Vermont state correctional employees. Main outcome measures-Support for various policy alternatives for both staV and inmate smoking; expected consequences of restrictive smoking policies and smoking behaviour. Participants-321 of 640 (50%) state correctional employees responded. Results-Employees were somewhat receptive to smoking restrictions for inmates, but less supportive of staV smoking restrictions. A complete ban on inmate smoking both indoors and outdoors was supported by 56% and 49% of never and ex-smokers, respectively, but only 15% of current smokers (p < 0.01). A similar ban on employee smoking was supported by 38% of never and ex-smokers, but only 3% of current smokers (p < 0.01). Overall, employees were most supportive (52%) of a policy for themselves that banned indoor smoking and restricted it to certain areas outdoors. Current smokers were more likely to expect negative consequences as a result of further restrictions than were never or ex-smokers. Conclusions-Although our findings are limited by a low response rate, most employees support an indoor ban, but not a total ban on smoking. Employees generally favoured a policy that was slightly more restrictive than the current policy, but were less supportive of tighter smoking restrictions for themselves. However, a more restrictive smoking policy is likely to result in some degree of resistance among current smoking employees, who may require specific attention to address their opposition.
