Survey: Seven out of ten European homes are now smoke-free
A recent survey published in ERJ Open Research shows that seven out of ten European homes are smoke-free, but progress varies across countries. Greece has the highest percentage of smoking-permitted homes. Research indicates slow growth in smoke-free homes with stronger tobacco control measures needed. Factors influencing smoke-free homes include education level, age, gender, and having children. Women, older individuals, and those with higher education are more likely to have smoke-free homes. The study suggests gradual yearly increases in smoke-free homes but emphasizes the need for faster progress through stronger tobacco control policies. Plans to expand the study include researching vaping in homes and promoting smoke-free environments.
