About

This study is directed at decreasing home environmental tobacco smoking (ETS) exposure with a novel approach of adoption of home smoking restrictions. This will be done by providing the cohabitating smoker and non-smoker with biomarker feedback documenting exposure to ETS. The intent is to identify an intervention strategy(ies) to reduce ETS exposure.
