Objectives: This study examined the extent to which attitudes about smoke-free air policies (SFAPs) in bars/restaurants, workplaces, all public places, and motor vehicles when minors are present can be explained by individuals' sociodemographic characteristics, smoking status, and beliefs about the health of others. Methods: Data were gathered from 359 individuals age 18 or older who attended the Lawrence County Fair in Indiana, United States, in July, 2009, an area where there were no SFAPs in place at the time of survey administration. Results: Multinomial logistic regression analyses indicated that perceived severity of secondhand smoke (SHS) on others, perceived responsibility of smokers for the harm their SHS causes to others, and perceived susceptibility of others to SHS exposure, along with education level and smoking status, significantly predict opposition to SFAPs in this population. Conclusions: The results of this exploratory study suggest the need for additional research related to attitudes about health policies as well as to the practical applications of these findings for smoke-free air advocacy.

화재로 인한 인명 피해를 줄이기 위해, 화재 대피용 방연마스크에 대한 관심과 보급이 증가하고 있다. 하지만 시중에 유통되는 방연마스크의 성능 인증 여부와 일반인들이 방연마스크를 적절하게 착용할 수 있는지에 관한 조사가 충분하지 않기 때문에, 방연마스크가 화재 현장에서 피난안전성을 실제로 높일 수 있는지 판단하기가 쉽지 않다. 본 연구는 방연마스크에 대한 일반 사용자의 인식 현황 및 사용 경험을 조사하고, 교육 필요성을 분석하였다. 또한 국내에서 유통 중인 방연마스크 제품들이 국내외 성능 기준에 따라 인증되고 있는지 조사하였다. 아울러 실험을 통해 방연마스크의 착용 신속성 및 활동 편의성을 평가하였다. 235명의 응답자 중 방연마스크를 실제 사용해 본 응답자는 22%에 그치고, 23%는 방연마스크를 모름에도 불구하고, 93%의 응답자는 방연마스크가 화재 피해를 줄일 수 있다고 기대했다. 국내에서 유통 중인 54개의 방연마스크 중 약 41%의 제품이 성능 인증을 받지 않은 것으로 조사 되었다. 국내외 다양한 성능 기준들 중에서 ASTM E 2952 및 KFIS 024만 방연마스크의 착용 신속성을 30초 이내로 규정하고 있다. 그런데 4가지 형태의 방연마스크를 대상으로 착용 신속성을 실험한 결과, 후드형 방연마스크와 자급식 방연마스크는 30초 이내로 착용하기 어려운 것으로 나타났다. 정화식 방연마스크에 비해 자급식 방연마스크를 착용하면, 의사소통의 어려움과 심리적/물리적 불편감을 더 많이 느끼는 것으로 나타났다. 한편, 방연마스크의 착용 교육을 받은 경우, 착용 시간은 약 19%, 오착용 횟수는 약 89% 감소하여, 적절한 착용 교육과 훈련이 매우 중요하다는 것을 확인할 수 있었다.

Objectives: The purposes of this study were to investigate the installation rates and status of indoor smoking rooms in public facilities and to determine the level of compliance level with smoke-free policies in accordance with the National Health Promotion Act. Methods: A visiting survey was conducted on 1,206 public facilities in the Seoul Metropolitan Area and the Daegu and Gyeongsangbuk-do Province area. Researchers selected public facilities such as bars, coffee houses, and internet cafes using convenient sampling. They visited without prior notice, checked the existence of indoor smoking rooms, and recorded their status. Results: Internet cafes (110/116) had the highest installation rate of indoor smoking rooms, followed by bowling clubs (17/19) and billiard rooms (87/100). Depending on the type of business, 50-88% of smoking rooms were not completely enclosed. Coin karaoke rooms showed the least inadequacy in this regard. In addition, out of 512 smoking rooms, in 33% (n = 169) smoking indoors was observed in non-smoking areas. Only 9% of public facilities were in full compliance with the indoor smoke-free regulation. Conclusions: It was found that most of the public facilities with indoor smoking rooms did not comply with the smoke-free policy, and smoking was still observed inside some facilities. Therefore, there is a need for a policy that prohibits indoor smoking rooms completely.

육지와 떨어진 제약적 환경 때문에 선박에서 근무하는 해기사는 사무직근로자보다 보건소와 같은 금연지원체계에 대한 접근성이 떨어질 수 있다. 본 연구는 한국 해기사의 흡연 및 간접흡연 실태를 파악하고 관련요인을 조사하기 위해 총 155명의 대상자에게 홉연 및 간접흡연 경험, 흡연에 대한 지식, 태도 및 금연의도와 선박 내 흡연시설에 대해 설문하였다. 조사 결과, 대상자의 흡연율은 32.3%였고, 간접흡연율은 86.5%로 높은 수준이었다. 선박 내 금연구역이 있는 경우에도 대부분의 흡연행위가 휴게실과 같은 해기사들의 생활 공간에서 주로 발생한다고 답하였다. 또한 선박 내 지정흡연실이 없거나 환풍시설이 미비한 경우도 40%정도에 이르는 것으로 조사되었다. 한편, 대상자 중 금연교육을 받은 사람은 21.9%에 불과하였다. 흡연행위에 대한 태도는 34.58점(총 60점)으로 부정적이었고, 흡연에 대한 지식은 16.12점(총 20점)으로 중간보다 높았다. 흡연자 10명 중 9명은 금연을 시도한 경험이 있었으나 금연 의도는 낮은 것으로 나타났다. 제한된 공간에서 근무와 생활을 병행하는 장기간 체류하는 해기사들의 흡연율을 감소시키기 위해서는, 해기사가 활용 가능한 방법으로 주기적인 금연교육을 통해 동기를 부여하고 금연의도를 높일 필요가 있다. 또한 정기적으로 흡연 실태조사를 조사하여 간접흡연의 피해를 주기적으로 파악하는 한편, 선박 내 흡연관련시설 등 환경적 요인에 대한 법규를 재정비하는 등 제도적 정비가 필요하다.

Objectives: Although the Korean government is able to implement smoke-free regulations for shared areas in multi-unit housing (MUH), such regulations are limited for private homes. The purpose of this study was to determine the prevalence and predictors of support for the implementation of smoke-free regulations for homes and near the outsides of building among residents in MUH. Methods: A population-based sample of 2,600 residents among a web-based panel in Seoul was included. The residents completed questionnaires including smoking status, voluntary smoke-free home rules, and support for the implementation of smoke-free regulations for homes and near the outsides of building. The presence of a voluntary smoke-free home rule was determined when residents declared that no one smoked inside their homes. Results: Among the 2,600 MUH residents, prevalence of support for the implementation of smoke-free regulations for homes was higher (83.2%) than for near the outsides of buildings (75.1%). Support for the implementation of smoke-free regulations for homes was higher when residents were non-smokers, had voluntary smoke-free home rules, lived with children, lived with more residents, lived in owned homes, lived in apartments, and lived in homes with more frequent secondhand smoke (SHS) incursion. Support for the implementation of smoke-free regulations near the outsides of buildings was higher when residents were women, non-smokers, more educated, had a voluntary smoke-free home rule, lived with children, lived in homes with more frequent SHS incursion, and lived in a commercial area. Conclusions: The majority was supportive of the implementation of smoke-free regulations for homes. Predictors identified in the study can be useful for promoting implementation of smoke-free regulations for homes in MUH.

The single cell gel electrophoresis (comet) assay is one of the useful tools for the study of genetic damage in humans exposed to environmental mutagens and carcinogens. This study was undertaken to evaluate the status of DNA damage in peripheral lymphocytes depending on their sex, age, smoking habits, and other factors in normal healthy Korean population. The 99 volunteers included in the study and out of these, 36 volunteers were smoker and 63 volunteers were non-smoker aged between 20-59 years. All individual answered a questionnaire that assessed their general information including smoking habits and the extent of the environmental tobacco smoke (ETS) exposure, and blood samples were obtained. There was a statistically significant difference in the extent of DNA damage between smoker and non-smoker (p<0.001). A significant difference was also observed between male and female (p<0.001) and amongst the different group of age (p<0.005), however, correlation analysis showed that only smoking habit was a significant factor for DNA damage. No significant effect of smoking duration, number of cigarettes smoking a day, SPY (smoke pack years) in smokers and environmental tobacco smoke exposure in non-smokers on the status of DNA damage was observed.

Objectives: This study examined the impact of a smoke-free policy on indoor air quality at indoor recreation facilities by assessing $PM_{2.5}$ concentrations before and after the implementation of the new policy. Methods: Using real-time monitors, $PM_{2.5}$ concentrations were measured in 50 billiard rooms and 50 golf simulator rooms in Seoul, Korea. The characteristics of the indoor recreation facilities, smoking status, and atmospheric conditions were recorded at the same time.After the enforcement of a smoke-free policy, $PM_{2.5}$ concentrations, installation of smoking room, and smoking status were examined when the facilities were revisited. Results: Almost a half of the billiard rooms and over 80% of golf simulator rooms were located underground. Seventy percent of the billiard rooms and one hundred percent of the golf simulator rooms were equipped with a local exhaust ventilation system. After the implementation of the smoke-free policy, 46% of the billiard rooms and 20% of the golf simulator rooms newly installed a smoking room. In the billiard rooms with a newly-installed smoking room, the $PM_{2.5}$ concentrations decreased from 97.9 to $45.6{\mu}g/m^3$ after the implementation of the smoke-free policy. The same change of 29.0 to $ 26.3{\mu}g/m^3$ was not statistically significant in golf simulator rooms. Indoor $PM_{2.5}$ concentrations were correlated with outdoor $PM_{2.5}$ concentrations, number of smokers, and number of people in the room. Conclusions: The smoke-free policy for indoor recreation facilities was not effective at making the indoor spaces free from second hand smoke. Although a few billiard rooms installed a smoking room, indoor $PM_{2.5}$ concentrations were still higher than those of outdoor $PM_{2.5}$ or atmospheric $PM_{2.5}$. Stricter enforcement of the smoke-free policy should be achieved to prevent secondhand smoke exposure.
