摘要：We assessed factors related to smoke-free policies among a cross-sectional, nationally representative, random-digit-dial sample (landline and cell phone) of US multiunit housing residents (n = 418). Overall, 29% reported living in smoke-free buildings, while 79% reported voluntary smoke-free home rules. Among those with smoke-free home rules, 44% reported secondhand smoke incursions in their unit. Among all respondents, 56% supported smoke-free building policy implementation. These findings suggest that smoke-free building policies are needed to protect multiunit housing residents from secondhand smoke in their homes. Secondhand smoke (SHS) contains hundreds of toxic or carcinogenic compounds and can cause significant morbidity and mortality among nonsmoking children and adults. 1–3 Currently, there is a growing interest in adopting smoke-free policies in private settings, including multiunit housing (MUH). The home represents a major source of SHS exposure for many individuals, 2,4–6 and MUH residents are particularly susceptible to SHS incursions from nearby units and shared areas. 6–8 This cross-sectional study evaluated attitudes, experiences, and acceptance of smoke-free home rules and building policies among a nationally representative sample of US MUH residents.
