TI  - Perceptions of Secondhand and Thirdhand Smoke Among Hispanic Residents of 
      Multiunit Housing.

AB  - Despite the progressive adoption of smoking bans in public spaces, children 
      living in multi-unit housing remain at risk of exposure to secondhand smoke (SHS) 
      and thirdhand smoke (THS). Hispanic populations in California are particularly 
      vulnerable to the harmful effects of SHS and THS because a large proportion of 
      Hispanics live in multi-unit housing. Three focus groups were conducted in the 
      fall of 2012 (in Spanish and English, N = 24) to understand Hispanics' knowledge 
      of and experiences with SHS and THS, including barriers to avoiding smoke 
      exposure and strategies for protecting their homes from smoke. Hispanic residents 
      reported unpleasant experiences with SHS and THS and were generally knowledgeable 
      about the adverse health effects, although they were not familiar with the term 
      "thirdhand smoke." Some participants also mentioned marijuana smoke as a 
      potential health hazard. Hispanic cultural values made participants reluctant to 
      confront their neighbors but also motivated them to find ways to protect their 
      families from smoke. Potential solutions included working with the smokers to 
      designate a smoking area and gaining support from the building owners. Broad 
      smoking policies should be implemented to help Hispanic residents overcome 
      cultural and social barriers to smoke free air.
