Abstract

Background: Lower rates of successful quitting among low-income populations in the United States may be from slower dissemination of smoke-free homes, a predictor of cessation. Objectives: To explore the role of smoke-free homes in cessation behavior across income levels. Participants: Current smokers who were ≥18 years and who participated in the longitudinal 2002–2003 (n = 2801) or 2010–2011 (n = 2723) Tobacco Use Supplements to the Current Population Survey. Measurements: We categorized income as multiples of the federal poverty level (FPL) ( 300%FPL). Although similar in 2002, the prevalence of smoke-free homes was 33% lower among individuals living
