Secondhand smoke (SHS) is an involuntary exposure that poses serious health risk to passive smokers. In Latin America, there is insufficient information regarding range of exposure and locations where passive smoking is taking place. The objective of this project is to develop a surveillance method for assessing SHS in public places in Latin American countries in order to support smoke-free policies and programs to reduce passive smoking in the region.
