“…As per past 30 day estimates, the Eastern Mediterranean Region, reported the highest prevalence of ever use, ranging from 15.8% in Aleppo (Syria), in 2004, to 65.3% among university students in Lebanon[ 27 – 29 , 77 , 78 , 81 ]. Studies from the Region of the Americas and Europe reported much lower prevalence estimates: 11 studies from the US ranged from 1.9% to 21.8%[ 17 – 20 , 79 , 80 , 83 – 87 ], while in Europe, ever use was reported as 11.6% among adults in the UK in 2012[ 82 ], and 19.1% among adults in a subnational household survey in Israel in 2012[ 76 ].…”

The prevalence and trends of waterpipe tobacco smoking: A systematic review

et al. 2018

IntroductionWaterpipe tobacco smoking is harmful to health however its prevalence estimates remain uncertain. We aimed to systematically review the medical literature on waterpipe tobacco prevalence and trends.MethodsWe searched Medline, Embase and ISI Web of Science for ‘waterpipe’ and its synonyms, without using language or date restrictions. We included any measure of waterpipe tobacco smoking prevalence in jurisdictionally representative populations. We stratified findings by prevalence measure (past 30 day, ever, regular or occasional, daily, other or unspecified) and age (adults or youth).ResultsWe included 129 studies reporting 355 estimates for 68 countries. In general, prevalence estimates among adults were highest in the Eastern Mediterranean, and among youth were about equal between Eastern Mediterranean and European regions. Past 30 day use was highest among Lebanese youth (37.2% in 2008), ever use was highest among Lebanese youth in 2002 and Lebanese university students in 2005 (both 65.3%), regular or occasional use was highest in among Iranian university students (16.3% in 2005), and daily use was highest among Egyptian youth (10.4% in 2005). Trend data were limited but most studies reported increased use over time, ranging from 0.3–1.0% per year among youth in the US to 2.9% per year among youth in Jordan (both for past 30 day use). Results were similar for ever use trends. Turkey (2.3% in 2008 to 0.8% in 2010) and Iraq (6.3% in 2008 and 4.8% in 2012) both witnessed decreased waterpipe use.ConclusionWaterpipe tobacco smoking is most prevalent in Eastern Mediterranean and European countries, and appears higher among youth than adults. Continued surveillance will be important to assess and inform policy measures to control waterpipe tobacco use.

“…Similarly, Collins complex behavioral counseling intervention was successful at increasing bioverified quit rates for smoking mothers and concluded that implementing home smoking restrictions may be an important step in facilitating cessation [ 38 , 39 ]. The adoption of smoke-free home rules may also help reduce or prevent the uptake of alternative tobacco products [ 40 , 41 ]. Given the evidence that smoke-free home rules are associated with less airborne nicotine and lower levels of cotinine, the adoption of smoke-free home rules appears justifiable, especially as part of larger strategies to encourage cessation, but more research is needed.…”

Smoke-free home rules restrict smoking in the home, but biomarkers of secondhand smoke exposure are needed to help understand the association between smoke-free homes and child secondhand smoke exposure. Participants (n = 346) were majority Black/African American mother–child dyads from a longitudinal study in North Carolina. Mothers completed questionnaires on household smoking behaviors and rules, and child saliva samples were assayed for secondhand smoke exposure. Regression models used smoke-free home rules to predict child risk for secondhand smoke exposure. Children in households with smoke-free home rules had less salivary cotinine and risk for secondhand smoke exposure. After controlling for smokers in the household, home smoking rules were not a significant predictor of secondhand smoke exposure. Compared to children in households with no smokers, children in households with at least one smoker but a non-smoking mother (OR 5.35, 95% CI: 2.22, 13.17) and households with at least one smoker including a smoking mother (OR 13.73, 95% CI: 6.06, 33.28) had greater risk for secondhand smoke exposure. Results suggest smoke-free home rules are not sufficient to fully protect children from secondhand smoke exposure, especially in homes with smokers. Future research should focus on how household members who smoke can facilitate the prevention of child secondhand smoke exposure.

“…Department of Health and Human Services, 2006). Furthermore, presence of smoke-free homes is associated with higher quit rates among tobacco users (Gilpin, White, Farkas, & Pierce, 1999; Hyland et al, 2009; Lee & Kahende, 2007; Mills, Messer, Gilpin, & Pierce, 2009) and possibly with decreased use of alternative tobacco products (Zhang, Martinez-Donate, Kuo, & Piper, 2016). Prevalence of personal smoke-free policies has increased over the past decades (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention [CDC], 2014; Cheng, Okechukwu, McMillen, & Glantz, 2015), with recent reports indicating that 83.0% of U.S. households have smoke-free home policies (CDC, 2014) and 78.1% have smoke-free vehicle policies (Kruger, Jama, Homa, Babb & King, 2015).…”

Smoke-Free Home and Vehicle Policies Among Community College Smokers

et al. 2017

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Background Personal smokefree policies (home and vehicle) reduce secondhand smoke exposure, improve health, and increase quitting among smokers. Overall, 83.0% and 78.1% of Americans report smokefree homes and vehicles, respectively. However, little is known about such policies among 2-year community college (CC) students, who represent a large, diverse population with higher smoking rates and less negative attitudes towards smoking than 4-year college students. Methods Prevalence of, and factors associated with, personal smokefree policies were examined for 2475 CC smokers enrolled in a national trial of web assisted tobacco intervention. Results Few students had smokefree home policies (20.7%), smokefree vehicles (17.0%), both smokefree home and vehicle policy (4.2%), or any policy (home or vehicle; 31.2%). In logistic regression models, having children was associated with a smokefree home or any policy but not with a smokefree vehicle, and among subjects who had children, only 20% reported a smokefree home, and only 15% had a smokefree vehicle. In addition, not living with other smokers, living with parents or roommates/siblings (vs. alone), smoking later than 30 minutes after awakening, believing that smoking affects the health of others, and confidence in quitting were associated with presence of a smokefree home or any policy; no variables were significantly associated with presence of a smokefree vehicle. Conclusions CC students represent a priority population for intervention regarding smokefree homes and vehicles. Such intervention can decrease exposure of others, including children, and potentially increase the likelihood of quitting in this high risk population.

Beyond cigarette smoking: smoke-free home rules and use of alternative tobacco products

Abstract: Smoke-free home rules are associated with lower current ATP use among the US population. Future research should examine whether promoting smoke-free home rules could help to reduce ATP use and related diseases.
