Community Attitudes Towards Smoking in Public Places, 1991

The purpose of this study was to investigate attitudes towards smoking in public places as well as to identify factors which may influence those attitudes. The main aim was to see whether government bans on smoking were supported by public opinion. A secondary aim was to look at who actually quits smoking. The main variables basically fall into the categories of smoking in public places, passive smoking, smoking in eating places, seating preference, and the proportion of non-smoking seating. Background variables are sex, age, education, employment, patterns of tobacco use and patterns of tobacco use in family, friends and co-workers.
