- Abstract
The article presents a study which examined current tobacco use and second-hand smoke (SHS) exposure in women aged 15-49 years using data from the 2008-2010 Global Adult Tobacco Survey (GATS) from 14 low- and middle-income countries. It relates the rate of tobacco smoking among reproductive-aged women in Egypt, Russia, Bangladesh, Mexico, Vietnam and India. Information is provided on the prevalence of SHS exposure at home in countries where most women are nonsmokers.
