Less Than One In Five Irish Adults Exposed To Second-Hand Smoke Daily
The Institute of Public Health in Ireland is reporting less than one in five adults in Ireland are exposed to second hand smoke daily.
On 'World No Tobacco Day' the groups most recent report is warning there are still challenges to protecting children from exposure to second hand smoke in the home.
Figures from the Health Behaviour in School Aged Children survey shows 17% of 10 to 17 years olds say adults are allowed smoke inside their home.
But IPH Director of Policy Dr Helen McAvoy is optimistic there's been a reduction to exposure to young people in cars.
