Adults Exposed to Secondhand Smoke in Multi-Unit Homes

This indicator shows the percent of adults who live in multi-unit housing who had tobacco smoke enter their living space from somewhere else in or around their building
Why is this important?
Homes, especially apartments, condominiums or other forms of multi-unit housing, are a significant source of secondhand smoke exposure. In adults, secondhand smoke can cause heart disease, stroke, and lung cancer, even in nonsmokers. Although secondhand smoke exposure has declined in recent decades, it remains high, especially among certain ethnic groups and residents with low socioeconomic status. Eliminating smoking in indoor spaces is the only way to fully protect nonsmokers from secondhand smoke exposure.
