Tuesday, November 1, 2011: 4:30 PM
Oral
Despite progress in reducing secondhand smoke exposure in the United States, serious risks still exist. According to the 2006 Surgeon General's report on involuntary smoke exposure, more than 126 million nonsmokers in the United States continue to be exposed to environmental tobacco smoke in homes, vehicles, workplaces, and public places. Children, in particular, are at risk for involuntary exposure: an estimated 60% of U.S. children are exposed to environmental tobacco smoke. This session includes interventions and activities that reduce exposure to environmental tobacco smoke.
Session Objectives: 1. Describe strategies to reduce environmental tobacco smoke. 2. Explain the impact of policy on ETS exposure.
