We compared perceptions of smoking and non-smoking Tacoma, WA multiunit public housing residents regarding smoke-free policies and in-home smoking rules. Two-hundred-twenty-nine completed surveys (~16% of units) of a modified version of the CDC's multiunit housing resident survey were analyzed. Smokers differed significantly (p < 0.05) from non-smokers with respect to agreement with policies that would ban smoking in homes (41% of smokers and 82% of non-smokers strongly agreed or agreed), in common indoor areas (74% of smokers and 82% of non-smokers strongly agreed or agreed), and for outdoor areas (38% of smokers and 68% of non-smokers strongly agreed or agreed). For in-home smoking rules, smokers and non-smokers again differed significantly (p < 0.05) with 53% of smokers and 90% of non-smokers not allowing smoking in their homes. Twenty-five percent of residents reported smelling secondhand smoke that infiltrated their residence from the outside on a daily basis. The most notable findings are that more than 50% of smokers do not allow smoking in their homes and that more than 50% of smokers are supportive of or neutral with respect to smoke-free policies for one's home. This suggests that implementation of smoke-free policies may not greatly impact vacancy rates even in populations with high rates of smoking (37% in this study).
我们比较了吸烟和不吸烟的塔科马，华盛顿多单元公共住房居民对无烟政策和家庭吸烟规定的看法。分析了对疾病预防控制中心多单元住房居民调查的修改版本进行了 229 次完整调查（约占单元的 16％）。吸烟者在同意禁止在家中吸烟的政策（41％的吸烟者和 82％的不吸烟者强烈同意或同意），在共同的室内区域（74％的吸烟者和 82％的不吸烟者强烈同意或同意）以及户外区域（38％的吸烟者和 68％的不吸烟者强烈同意或同意）方面与不吸烟者有显著差异（p <0.05）。对于家庭吸烟规定，吸烟者和不吸烟者再次存在显著差异（p <0.05），其中 53％的吸烟者和 90％的不吸烟者不允许在其家中吸烟。 25％的居民报告说，每天都有二手烟从外面渗透到他们的住所。最值得注意的发现是，超过 50％的吸烟者不允许在其家中吸烟，并且超过 50％的吸烟者对家庭的无烟政策表示支持或中立。这表明，即使在吸烟率较高的人群中（本研究中为 37％），实施无烟政策也可能不会对空房率产生重大影响。
