      Thirdhand Smoke Exposure.

AB  - Objectives: Smokers with financial and food insecurity may find it difficult to 
      quit smoking and reduce their children's tobacco smoke exposure (TSE). The 
      objective was to examine the associations between child TSE and financial and 
      food insecurity among U.S. school-aged children. Methods: We examined the 
      2018-2019 National Survey of Children's Health data on 17,484 children 6-11 years 
      old. Children were categorized into TSE groups: (1) No TSE: did not live with a 
      smoker; (2) thirdhand smoke (THS) exposure alone: lived with a smoker who did not 
      smoke inside the home; or (3) secondhand smoke (SHS) and THS exposure: lived with 
      a smoker who smoked inside the home. We conducted weighted logistic, ordinal, and 
      linear regression analyses to assess the relationships between child TSE status 
      and financial and food insecurity, adjusting for covariates. Results: Overall, 
      13.1% and 1.8% of children had THS exposure alone and SHS and THS exposure, 
      respectively. Compared to children with no TSE, children with THS exposure alone 
      were at 2.17 increased odds (95% CI = 1.83, 2.58, p < 0.001) and children with 
      SHS and THS exposure were at 2.24 increased odds (95% CI = 1.57, 3.19, p < 0.001) 
      of having financial insecurity. Children with THS exposure alone were at 1.92 
      increased odds (95% CI = 1.58, 2.33, p < 0.001) and children with SHS and THS 
      exposure were at 2.14 increased odds (95% CI = 1.45, 3.16, p < 0.001) of having 
      food insecurity. Conclusions: Children with TSE are at increased risk of 
      experiencing financial and food insecurity. When developing tobacco 
      interventions, a holistic approach to tobacco control that addresses ways to 
      decrease financial and food hardships may improve outcomes.
