Research Behind the Second-hand Smoke Campaign


The Smokefree Workplaces and Smokefree Homes media campaigns were developed using extensive research and pretesting.

Key research projects have been summarised and their findings have also been condensed into a series of second-hand smoke fact sheets. There are also a number of second-hand smoke reports that contain detailed information about the health effects of exposure to second-hand smoke, morbidity and mortality rates, the increased risk of death, attitudes towards second-hand smoke, the chemical constituents of tobacco smoke and cigarettes etc.
