Fu Balboa, Marcela López, María José Martínez Martínez, Cristina Saltó i Cerezuela, Esteve Fernández Muñoz, Esteve Salut Opinió pública Tractament del tabaquisme Programes de prevenció Espanya Health Public opinion Smoking cessation Prevention programs Spain Objective: to describe where smokers smoke outdoors, where non-smokers are exposed outdoors to secondhand smoke (SHS), and attitudes towards smoke-free outdoor areas after the implementation of national smoke-free legislation. Design: this cross-sectional study was conducted between June 2011 and March 2012 (n=1307 participants). Setting: Barcelona Participants: representative, random sample of the adult (≥16 years) population. Primary and secondary outcomes: proportion of smoking and prevalence of exposure to SHS in the various settings according to type of enclosure. Percentages of support for outdoor smoke-free policies according to smoking status. Results: smokers reported smoking outdoors most in bars and restaurants (54.8%), followed by outdoor places at work (46.8%). According to non-smokers, outdoor SHS exposure was highest at home (42.5%) and in bars and restaurants (33.5%). Among non-smoking adult students, 90% claimed exposure to SHS on university campuses. There was great support for banning smoking in the majority of outdoor areas, which was stronger among non-smokers than smokers. Over 70% of participants supported smoke-free playgrounds, school and high school courtyards, and the grounds of healthcare centres. Conclusions: extending smoking bans to selected outdoor settings should be considered in further tobacco control interventions to protect non-smokers from SHS exposure and to establish a positive model for youth. The majority of public support for some outdoor smoke-free areas suggests that it is feasible to extend smoking bans to additional outdoor settings. 2019-06-05T13:30:52Z 2019-06-05T13:30:52Z 2015-04-08 2019-06-05T13:30:52Z info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion Reproducció del document publicat a: https://doi.org/10.1136/bmjopen-2014-007554 BMJ Open, 2015, vol. 5, num. 4, p. e007554 https://doi.org/10.1136/bmjopen-2014-007554 cc-by (c) Sureda, Xisca et al., 2015 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/es info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess BMJ Publishing Group Articles publicats en revistes (Ciències Clíniques)
