Approximately 63.7% of nonsmokers in China are exposed to secondhand smoke (SHS) in their homes. The current study documents the prevalence and correlates of smoke-free home policies in Shanghai, as well as reasons for implementing such a policy and places where smoking is most commonly allowed.
We conducted in-person surveys of 500 participants using a multistage proportional random sampling design in an urban and suburban district.
Overall, 35.3% had a smoke-free home policy. In the logistic regression, having higher income, not having smokers in the home, having children in the home, having fewer friends/relatives who permit smoking at home, and not being a current smoker were correlates of having a smoke-free home policy (P < 0.05). Concern about the health impact of SHS was reportedly the most important reason for establishing a smoke-free home. Among participants with no or partial bans, the most common places where smoking was allowed included the living room (64.2%), kitchen (46.1%), and bathroom (33.8%).
Smoke-free home policies were in place for a minority of households surveyed. Establishing such a policy was influenced by personal smoking behavior and social factors. These findings suggest an urgent need to promote smoke-free home policies through tobacco control programs.
在中国，约 63.7%的不吸烟者在家中暴露于二手烟（SHS）中。本研究记录了上海市无烟家庭政策的流行情况和相关因素，以及实施该政策的原因和最常允许吸烟的场所。
我们采用多阶段比例随机抽样设计，对城区和郊区的 500 名参与者进行了面对面调查。
总体而言，35.3%的家庭有无烟家庭政策。在逻辑回归中，较高的收入、家中没有吸烟者、家中有孩子、家中允许吸烟的朋友/亲戚较少、以及不吸烟是拥有无烟家庭政策的相关因素（P < 0.05）。担心 SHS 的健康影响据说是制定无烟家庭政策的最重要原因。在没有或部分禁止吸烟的参与者中，允许吸烟的最常见场所包括客厅（64.2%）、厨房（46.1%）和浴室（33.8%）。
在所调查的家庭中，仅有少数家庭实施了无烟家庭政策。制定这样的政策受到个人吸烟行为和社会因素的影响。这些发现表明，迫切需要通过烟草控制计划来促进无烟家庭政策。
