Smoking in urban outdoor public places: Behaviour, experiences, and implications for public health. | LitMetric

AI Article Synopsis

  • - This paper explores the outdoor smoking habits of people in Toronto, focusing on factors like shelter, convenience, and social norms that affect where individuals choose to smoke.
  • - Observations revealed that a significant portion (37%) of smoking occurred within 9 meters of building entrances, raising concerns about the impact of secondhand smoke on non-smokers using those spaces.
  • - The study suggests that implementing clear smoking rules near building entrances could improve the experience for all public space users, but acknowledges the need for more research on the effects of such outdoor smoking restrictions and their potential unintended consequences.

Article Abstract

This paper identifies factors that influence where people smoke outdoors and examines the impact of smoking on people who use outdoor public places. Direct observations of smoking at 12 outdoor public places and semi-structured interviews with 35 non-smoking and smoking adults were used to gather information in Toronto, Canada, about where people smoke, and smoking related behaviours, perspectives, and experiences. Observation and interview data show that smoking at building entrances was problematic. In total, approximately 37% of smoking observed across the sites was within 9m of building entrances. Shelter, convenience, the social culture of smoking, visibility, and the presence of non-smokers were key factors that influenced where people smoked. Clearly defined rules for smoking at building entrances may allow users of public spaces to avoid tobacco smoke when entering and exiting. However, further research is needed regarding the effectiveness of outdoor restrictions and potential unintended consequences.
