ObjectivesTo examine smoking restrictions in households of children with cancer and their effect on biological measures of children's secondhand smoke exposure (SHSe).MethodsA sample of 135 parents of nonsmoking children with cancer who lived with a smoker completed structured interviews.ResultsApproximately 43% of families prohibited smoking in the home. Children living in homes that prohibited smoking had median cotinine levels that were 71% and 52% lower than did those from homes with no and partial restrictions.ConclusionsParents should be directed to completely ban all smoking from the home and car to best protect their children from SHSe.
