“…The primary location for SHS exposure for nonsmokers is in the home 10,11. Research in the U.S. and Australia has shown that home smoking bans (i.e., rules to restrict smoking in the household12) are effective in preventing smoking initiation,13,14 promoting quitting behaviors,15,16 and reducing nonsmokers’ exposure to SHS 17–19…”

Background Secondhand smoke (SHS) is a major threat to public health worldwide. Previous studies have suggested that home smoking bans effectively reduce SHS exposure to nonsmokers in the home. In China, the world’s largest tobacco producer and consumer, more than 540 million nonsmokers are exposed to SHS. However, to our knowledge, no published studies have examined the prevalence or correlates of home smoking bans in mainland China. This paper presents a quantitative study on home smoking bans in an urbanizing community in Shanghai, China. Methods In 2006, a cross-sectional survey based on probability sampling (N=243) was conducted in Changqiao, an urbanizing community in Shanghai, China. Interviews were conducted in person in Mandarin Chinese by trained interviewers. The behavioral ecologic model, which emphasizes the multilevel environmental contingencies of behavior, was applied as the theoretical model. Data were analyzed in 2008 using logistic regression to explore correlates of complete home smoking bans. Results In this community, only 26% of respondents reported having complete home smoking bans. Smoking respondents and families were less likely to have complete smoking bans in the home. Home smoking bans were positively associated with the perceived density of smoke-free homes in the community, and with the perceived likelihood of community reprimand for smoking in the home. Conclusions Home smoking bans were not widely adopted in this community in China. Future interventions should focus on the community and social environment in order to promote home smoking bans.

The prevalence of smoking cessation in Indonesia was decreased from 5. 4% (2010) to 4% (2013). This study aims to determine the relationship of external factors with successful smoking cessation among Indonesian adult. This is a cross sectional study using secondary data from "Global Adult Tobacco Survey" Indonesia 2011. A total of 3175 males and 235 females, aged 15+ years old were included in this study.Multiple logistic regression analysis was used to examine external factors associated with successful smoking cessation. The proportion of smoking quitter is about 15.7 percent. The external factors associated with successful smoking cessation were informed about household smoking restriction (OR: 2.5, 95% CI: 0.9 -7.6), exposure to smoking dangers in newspaper (OR: 1.5, 95%CI:0.7 -3.1), and unexposed to cigarette advertisement in television (OR: 2.4 95%CI: 1.4 -4.2). Being informed of household smoking restriction, cigarette harmful effect, and unexposed to cigarette advertisement were important factors in successful smoking cessation. Cigarette dangers effect campaign and restriction of cigarette advertisement may be beneficial in supporting successful smoking cessation.

“…Smokers who have enacted a home smoking ban may be seen as making an attempt to deal with their smoking and trying to become healthier (Verger et al, 2008). In terms of mental health, the presence of smoking bans in workplaces, public spaces, and the home have also been shown to assist in smoking cessation efforts that are, in turn, related to positive self-evaluation (Mills et al, 2009;Pizacani et al, 2004;Shelley et al, 2007;Soliman et al, 2004;.…”

“…Collectively, research evidence suggests that the physical health benefits of smoking restrictions are widespread and include robust reductions in ETS-related morbidity and mortality, particularly heart disease, asthma, and other respiratory diseases, as well as improvements in indoor air quality, reductions in smoking rates, and decreases in the uptake of smoking among youth (Brownson et al, 1997;Farkas, Gilpin, Distefan, & Pierce, 1999;Proescholdbell, Chassin, & MacKinnon, 2000;Shelley, Yerneni, Hung, Das, & Fahs, 2007;Szabo, White, & Hayman, 2006;Wakefield, Banham, & Martin, 2000;Wakefield, Chaloupka, & Kaufman, 2000). However, while considerable research has focused on the association between smoke-free policies and the health and well-being of nonsmokers, far less attention has been paid to their impact on those who continue to smoke (Burgess, Fu, & van Ryn, 2009).…”
