Smoking in the home is, potentially, the next frontier in tobacco control in the developed world. As smoking regulations in public space are extended, attention is turning to private spaces and the contribution of parental, particularly maternal, smoking to children's health and socio-economic inequalities in family health. Yet relatively little is known about mothers' smoking practices within the home and the social meanings of smoking that are constructed by these practices. In this paper we explore how mothers who smoke construct moralities of their smoking behaviour, particularly in relation to where and with whom they smoke. Drawing on in-depth Biographic Narrative Interpretative Method, in interviews with 12 smoking mothers, and their partners, we consider how these moral tales involve comparisons with other smokers and the importance of community endorsement of smoking practices, particularly around children. We also consider the role of children in the home and how children are actively involved in the regulation of smoking behaviours. Finally, we consider the implications of these moral tales for interventions around smoke-free homes.
在发达国家，家庭吸烟问题有可能成为烟草控制的下一个前沿领域。随着公共场所吸烟规定的不断扩大，人们的注意力正转向私人空间，以及父母尤其是母亲吸烟对儿童健康和家庭健康方面社会经济不平等的影响。然而，对于母亲在家庭中的吸烟行为以及这些行为所构建的吸烟的社会意义，我们所知相对较少。在本文中，我们探讨吸烟的母亲如何构建她们吸烟行为的道德准则，特别是关于她们吸烟的地点和对象。借助深入的传记叙事解释方法，通过对12位吸烟母亲及其伴侣的访谈，我们思考这些道德故事如何涉及与其他吸烟者的比较，以及社区对吸烟行为（尤其是涉及儿童的吸烟行为）认可的重要性。我们还考虑了孩子在家庭中的角色，以及孩子如何积极参与吸烟行为的规范。最后，我们思考这些道德故事对无烟家庭干预措施的启示。
