Smoke-Free Policy in Vermont Public Housing Authorities

Abstract

Introduction. Millions of adults and children living in public housing face exposure to second hand smoke from adjacent apartments. These tenants are less able to escape smoke exposure by moving, and Housing Authorities are beginning to implement smoke-free policies. We assessed the status of smoke-free policy in Vermont public housing, and explored the experience of tenants and managers in Burlington who recently implemented such a policy.https://scholarworks.uvm.edu/comphp_gallery/1080/thumbnail.jp
