The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) recently issued rules requiring that federally funded authorities administering public housing must have smoke-free policies. Importantly, this requirement does not extend to Section 8 housing. Under the Section 8 program, public housing vouchers provide subsidies for private rental housing to low-income residents. This study examines support for smoke-free policy options in Section 8 housing. Using a nationally representative survey of adults, we asked 3,070 respondents to agree or disagree with two potential policies. The majority (71%) supported prohibiting indoor smoking everywhere inside buildings that have Section 8 housing units. Alternatively, respondents were less supportive (38%) of a policy to prohibit smoking only inside units with Section 8 subsidies, and allowing smoking in nonsubsidized units. Prohibiting smoking in all units in multiunit housing (MUH) buildings would help protect the health of both the 2.2 million households who receive Section 8 subsidies and their neighbors.
美国住房和城市发展部（HUD）最近发布规定，要求管理公共住房的联邦资助机构必须制定无烟政策。重要的是，这一要求并不适用于第8条规定的住房。根据第8条计划，公共住房券为低收入居民的私人租赁住房提供补贴。本研究调查了第8条规定住房中对无烟政策选项的支持情况。通过对全国具有代表性的成年人进行调查，我们询问了3070名受访者对两项潜在政策的同意或不同意程度。大多数人（71%）支持在有第8条规定住房单元的建筑物内全面禁止室内吸烟。相比之下，受访者对仅在有第8条补贴的单元内禁止吸烟、在无补贴单元内允许吸烟的政策支持度较低（38%）。在多单元住房（MUH）建筑的所有单元内禁止吸烟，将有助于保护220万户领取第8条补贴的家庭及其邻居的健康。
